Israel economy minister files complaint over Turkey's halt to trade with Israel

Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat filed a complaint with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) chief Mathias Cormann over Ankara's decision to halt trade with Israel.

Barkat said in a post on X that he had met with Cormann following Turkey's announcement it was cutting trade ties with Israel over its assault on Gaza.

He called for the OECD to take action against Turkey, saying that the move “blatantly violates maritime trade laws and harms the continuity of global supply”.
