The president “underlined the vital importance of exercising prudence and strategic thinking for a lasting solution in the region,” it added. Earlier, Erdogan also met with Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniya. Evaluating the tensions between Israel and Iran, he emphasised that such events should not distract the international community from the atrocities Israel continues to inflict in Gaza.
Unless this is addressed, tensions in the region will continue to escalate, he said, also noting that"If this crisis is not resolved properly, if Palestinians are not given the state, independence, and sovereignty they deserve, such crises will continue to escalate in our region." The Egyptian top diplomat also stressed that the Iran-Israel tension “diverted the international community's attention from the tragic situation in Gaza.”

From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel."
