Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that Turkey no longer does as much trade with Israel as it used to in the past, the state news agency Anadolu reported.
A Deutsche Welle reporter asked the president during a joint press conference with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, on Wednesday how he explained the contradiction between denouncing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “using Nazi methods” and maintaining extensive trade relations with Israel at the same time.
“Turkey no longer does as much trade with Israel, that chapter is closed,” Erdoğan replied and called on “our German friends” to bear in mind that the number of victims from the Israeli attacks on Gaza has reached 45,000.
