The continuation of exports to the occupied territories is an important contradiction in the relations between Türkiye and the Zionist regime

– International News – Tasnim News Agency, in recent weeks and simultaneously with the continuation of the Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza, two important issues have been criticized by some Turkish political analysts and activists: first, I wish that instead of South Africa, It was the Turkish government that brought the Zionist regime to trial at the International Criminal Court, and this honor was given to a Muslim country. The continuation of the export of goods from Turkey to Israel is an example of adopting dual and contradictory positions, and the Erdogan government must be accountable for this behavior.

Although Erdogan’s government officials are trying to face this challenge in a crooked way, but the fact is that the clear statistics of the export of goods cannot be hidden and the numbers show This is that Turkey, on the one hand, is chanting against Israel, but on the other hand, fearing the lack of foreign exchange resources, Turkey is not willing to close the sea trade line for export.

According to Ahmet Davutoglu, the former Prime Minister of Turkey and the current leader of the Future Party, the statistics show This is that nothing has changed and the export of goods and raw materials from Turkey to the occupied territories is even more than the amount of exports to the Republic of Azerbaijan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Who is protesting?

Among the Turkish political parties, four parties object more than others to the continuation of political and economic relations between Turkey and the Zionist regime:

1 The Saadat Party led by Temel Karameloglu (the successor of the late Turkish Islamist Prime Minister Nejmuddin Erbakan, who considered Israel to be the greatest threat to the Islamic world.)

2. The Future Party led by Ahmet Davutoglu, which is close to the Saadat Party’s approach in terms of political policy, and at the same time, has a neo-Ottoman reading about Turkey’s regional role.

3. Islamic party – Kurd Hadapar (Partisan party) which joined the president’s coalition in the recent elections and supported Erdoğan.

4. Communist party Watan, led by Dogu Princek, who is close to Erdogan, but mostly points to the need to avoid political-security cooperation with Israel, but does not object to the expansion of commercial cooperation with the Zionist regime.

In addition to the political parties whose names were mentioned, some civil institutions and economic associations also have an attitude towards business with Israel that is in conflict with the view of Erdoğan’s team.

Until yesterday, it is said that the wealthy and powerful professionals of the private sector of Turkey in the union known as “Tusiad”, who control the country’s economy and most of them are from influential families opposed to Erdogan, to Israel They sell goods.

But now it has become clear that the pro-Erdogan Islamist merchants and tradesmen union, which formed an institution called “Mosyad”, the highest amount of goods exports to occupy the occupied lands.

A few days ago in Turkey, a group of Turkish Islamist youth launched a campaign called “A Thousand Youth for Palestine” which aims The first is the formation of a group of 1,000 volunteers who are ready to go to Gaza without hesitation to defend Palestine. The goods from “Mosiad” companies to Israel were called shameful and condemned.

As a result, they are complicit in the genocide, requested that they immediately cut off their business relations. Among them, Ichdash, Metal Matrix, Gasbeton, Osman Oglulari, Adanos Plastic and Pamuk Qala Kabilo, have sold billions of dollars of goods to Israel, and especially the export of iron and steel from the huge İÇDAŞ company to Israel and transporting these materials to the port of Haifa is one of the important points. This movement emphasizes that the issue should not be limited to rallies and aid campaigns, but immediate and effective sanctions should be imposed. Apply.

The volume of trade between Turkey and Israel proved once again that despite the political tensions in recent years and also with Despite the genocide and killings in Gaza, economic relations are still stable. Despite a 34% decrease in exports in the period from October to December 2023 with the start of Gaza attacks, Turkey’s total exports to Israel reached 5.43 billion dollars in 2023, and the volume of trade between Turkey and Israel has increased 6 times in the last 20 years.

Erdogan, in many of his speeches, political opponents of the ruling party and He especially considered the People’s Republic Party as a partner and accomplice of Israel. But the statistics and figures show that the export of goods to Turkey during the administration of Ejwit and the opposition of Erdogan was even less than 1 billion dollars, but during the tenure of the Justice and Development Party, the Zionist regime has become one of Turkey’s important business partners. .

Critics of Erdogan say that the steel exported from Turkey to Israel is used in the production of bombs. It is used and huge Turkish iron and steel holdings are not willing to pay attention to this humanitarian issue for the sake of achieving huge profits of several billion dollars. supplies the consumption of the Zionist regime, which is a high figure. .tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1402/11/17/140211170941467129331354.jpg”/>

It was over 21 billion dollars, and TİM‘s report indicates that Turkey exported 1.4 billion dollars of steel to Israel in 2021.

ÇİB President Adnan Arslan announced that 17 :#222222″>Turkish steel exporting company met with Israeli companies in Tel Aviv to increase trade in September 2022.

Arslan announced that according to the latest agreement between the parties, 65% of the steel The use of Israel is provided through Turkish producers.

Ali Akturk, a Turkish economic analyst, also said: Israel’s crimes have internal and electoral consumption and business continues with full force”.
