Türkiye is only country that has completely halted trade with Israel, says Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday said that his country's righteous position on Gaza will be vindicated by history just as it was in Syria.
"Just as we have been proven right in the case of Syria, history will attest to our righteousness in the Gaza crisis as well," Erdogan said at a Türkiye Exporters Assembly event in Istanbul.
Assad, Syria's leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party's regime, which had been in power since 1963.
Erdogan also underlined that Türkiye is the only country that has completely halted trade with Israel.
In May, Türkiye halted all trade with Israel which amounts to some $9.5 billion, amid the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
Despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, the Israeli army has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed nearly 45,600 victims, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.
