Turkey has announced that the trade ban with Israel will remain in place until a permanent ceasefire is agreed upon in Gaza. The two countries have had a significant trade relationship worth nearly seven billion dollars annually, but this has been halted due to Israel’s actions in Gaza. The Turkish government has been calling for an end to the violence that has resulted in the deaths of nearly 35,000 Palestinians in seven months. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel for blocking aid meant for Gaza and has imposed a total trade ban until a ceasefire is reached. Some speculate that domestic pressure, following a setback in local elections, may have influenced this decision. The impact of this trade ban on both economies remains to be seen. Guests on the show discuss the situation, including political analyst Vehbi Baysan, columnist Gideon Levy, and economist Vladimir Vano.
