Türkiye has announced sweeping trade restrictions on Israel as a punitive measure against Tel Aviv's brutal war on Palestine that has killed more than 33,000 people in just over six months.


The Turkish trade ministry said on Tuesday the restrictions will remain in place until it implements a ceasefire and allows “sufficient and uninterrupted flow" of humanitarian aid to the devastated Palestinian enclave of Gaza.


"This decision will remain in place until Israel declares a ceasefire immediately and allows adequate and uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza," the ministry said in a statement.


“Israel continues to violate international law flagrantly and ignores the international community's numerous calls for a ceasefire and uninterrupted humanitarian aid,” the ministry.

It said that resolutions by the UN Security Council, General Assembly and Human Rights Council, in addition to the interim injunction decisions dated January 26 and March 28 by the International Court of Justice in The Hague for allegedly violating the 1948 Genocide Convention, “obliged Israel to reach a ceasefire”.


Tel Aviv must, “in full cooperation with the UN, allow the uninterrupted provision of all basic humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza, including the medical supplies and health services they need,” it added.
