A report by an Israeli news outlet indicates several Israeli companies maintain commercial operations in Turkey, sidestepping the official boycott Ankara imposed on trade with Israel. The full list of firms and the scope of their activities were not disclosed in the brief.
An Israeli news outlet reported Monday that several Israeli companies are continuing to do business in Turkey, despite the trade boycott Ankara imposed on Israel amid the ongoing war. The report did not name the firms or detail the sectors or volume of commerce involved. Turkey, under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, suspended all exports and imports to and from Israel in May 2024, following a sharp deterioration in bilateral ties over the Gaza conflict. Israeli businesses have since sought alternative routes and third-country intermediaries to maintain supply chains; these latest findings suggest some have managed to circumvent the embargo. The full investigative report was referred to as a 'full article', indicating that additional details — including company names, legal mechanisms, and possibly government awareness — may be available in the published piece.
