Israel to abolish free trade deal with Turkey, says finance minister

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the country would end its free trade agreement with Turkey, after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan moved to halt exports to Israel in protest against the war on Gaza.

Smotrich also said the plan, which will be proposed to the cabinet for approval, would also impose a 100 percent tariff on other imports from Turkey.
