How will Turkey's trade ban on Israel affect both economies?

The Inside Story Podcast - En podcast av Al Jazeera

For years, Israel and Turkey 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.
