The Merchant in the Case : A Turkish Analyst Reveals the Falsehood of Erdoğan’s Statements Regarding Palestine
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s attempts to leap on the Palestinian cause through his war of words and his false initiatives to win Muslim sympathy around the world continue, despite the economic relations between Turkey and Israel.
False statements
His latest remarks were made at the Turkish Presidential Compound in the capital Ankara, after he stressed that Turkey would not hesitate to pay the price for its response to injustice against the Palestinians, following the Israeli attacks on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
A clear contradiction for all
“Both the bidding and the spurious shaming of Erdoğan and his regime are open to all, after he pointed out during his December 25 speech that Turkey was seeking better relations with Israel.”
Turkey’s Courting of Israel to Save Erdogan’s Economy
Erdoğan and his men have been strengthening ties with Israel to save Turkey’s ailing economy, a report in the French newspaper ”Le Point” revealed, with Nivzat Kalkavan, a Turkish businessman close to Erdoğan, sending a ship loaded with a cargo of arms and ammunition to Israel through Italian ports.

The French newspaper adds that a report by a group of workers in the Italian port of Genoa, managed to disable the ship “Asiatique Island,” which was expected to arrive in Tel Aviv to be used in killing innocent Palestinians, during the recent Israeli aggression.
Turkish exports to Israel double, official figures reveal
Official data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute revealed that the volume of trade between Turkey and Israel has doubled, with Turkish exports to Israel rising to $1.1 billion and $851 million during the first four months of 2021, an increase of 35% over last year.
Turkish political analyst Jawdat Kamel said : Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is relying on his rhetoric that targets religious and nationalist sentiment to move beyond his domestic political crises.
Kamel added, in special statements to “Al-Arab Mubasher,” that Erdoğan is continuing his trade with the Palestinian issue; taking advantage of the Turkish people’s rejection of the Israeli occupation and injustice against the Palestinians.
The Turkish political analyst said that immediately after the escalation of the Israeli attacks on the Palestinians, Erdoğan appeared on television to criticize and denounce, without taking a single step towards cutting economic relations with Israel.
After the ruling Justice and Development Party came to power in 2002, Turkish exports to Israel were at $850 million per year, which under Erdogan has doubled to 4.5 times in 18 years.
