President Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza, told a meeting of his AK Party: 'We must be very strong so that Israel can't do these ridiculous things to Palestine. The move was met with furious backlash from Israel's foreign minister, who accused Turkey of blocking Israeli imports and exports from Turkish ports. The Turkish president 'is breaking agreements by blocking ports for Israeli imports and exports,' Katz wrote on the social platform X. Erdogan's government, which suffered major setbacks in local elections in March, had been faced with intense pressure at home to halt trade with Israel.
