Turkey tightens goods embargo on Israel, targeting Palestinian trade

Ankara blacklists 25 Israeli companies

Turkey has expanded its embargo on trade with Israel, blacklisting 25 Israeli companies and targeting Palestinian trade in the occupied West Bank.

The move comes after Israel killed more than 60 Palestinians during protests at the Gaza border on Monday.

The Turkish government said the blacklisting was in response to Israel's "inhumane attacks" on Palestinians.

Israeli companies blacklisted

The companies on the blacklist include major Israeli exporters such as Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

The companies are involved in a range of industries, including defense, technology, and energy.

The Turkish government said that the companies had been blacklisted because of their involvement in the Israeli military's operations in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian trade targeted

The Turkish government also said that it would be targeting Palestinian trade in the occupied West Bank.

The move is likely to have a significant impact on the Palestinian economy.

The Palestinian Authority has condemned the Turkish move, saying that it will harm the Palestinian people.

International reaction

The international community has called for restraint from both sides.

The United Nations has condemned the Israeli killings and called for an independent investigation.

The United States has said that it is "deeply concerned" by the violence and has urged both sides to de-escalate the situation.
