ISTANBUL (AP) Turkey has closed its airspace to Israeli planes in protest at the war in Gaza, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Friday.
We have completely cut off our trade with Israel. We do not allow Turkish ships to go to Israeli ports. We do not allow their planes to enter our airspace, he told a special parliamentary debate on Gaza in Ankara.
Turkey severed direct trade ties with Israel in May last year, demanding a permanent ceasefire and the immediate entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza. In 2023 the two countries carried out $7 billion in trade.
Turkish media reported last week that a ban on maritime traffic linked to Israel had been imposed, although there was no official statement. According to reports, Israeli vessels were banned from docking in Turkey and Turkish-flagged ships were not allowed to enter Israeli ports.
Ankara has been a harsh critic of Israeli attacks on Gaza, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan repeatedly referring to Israels actions as genocide and likening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler.
Last November, Turkish authorities denied permission for Israeli President Isaac Herzogs plane to enter Turkeys airspace for a trip to an international summit in Azerbaijan. As Turkey, we have to take a stance on certain issues, Erdogan later said when asked about the incident.

伊斯坦布尔(美联社)——土耳其外长哈坎·菲丹周五表示,为抗议加沙战争,土耳其已对以色列飞机关闭其领空。
“我们已完全切断与以色列的贸易往来,禁止土耳其船只停靠以色列港口,也不允许其飞机进入我国领空。”他在安卡拉举行的加沙问题议会特别辩论会上如是表示。
土耳其于去年5月中断了与以色列的直接贸易关系,要求实现永久停火并立即向加沙地带提供人道主义援助。2023年,两国贸易额达70亿美元。
土耳其媒体上周报道称,尽管没有官方声明,但该国已实施了一项与以色列相关的海上交通禁令。据报道,以色列船只被禁止在土耳其停靠,而悬挂土耳其国旗的船只也不得进入以色列港口。
安卡拉方面一直严厉批评以色列对加沙的袭击,总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安多次将以色列的行动称为种族灭绝,并将总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡比作希特勒。
去年11月,土耳其当局拒绝以色列总统艾萨克·赫尔佐格的飞机进入土耳其领空,以参加在阿塞拜疆举行的国际峰会。埃尔多安事后回应此事时表示:"作为土耳其,我们必须对某些问题表明立场。"
