Listen to the last episode:

For years, Israel and Turkiye had been crucial trade partners. It was a commercial relationship worth nearly 7-billion dollars a year. But Israel's war on Gaza changed all that. The Turkish government has been demanding a halt to the violence that's killed nearly 35,000 Palestinians. Ankara has now announced a total trade ban until Israel agrees to a ceasefire. But has President Recep Tayyip Erdogan acted under domestic pressure, after a setback in local elections was blamed partly for continuing to do business with Israel? And how will this affect the economies of both sides? 

In this episode:

  • Vehbi Baysan, Assistant Professor, İbn Haldun University.
  • Gideon Levy, Columnist, Haaretz.
  • Vladimir Vano, Chief Economist, GLOBSEC.
