Sources pointed out that the restriction also covers all Israel-related cargo, including container transfers, and no operations can be carried out at Turkish ports.The Turkish government requires the shipowner to sign a statement confirming that its ship has no business relationship with Israel and does not carry cargo or military supplies to Israel.
This move is seen as the latest manifestation of Türkiye's continued pressure on Israel at the diplomatic level.For more than a decade, Türkiye's relations with Israel have been fluctuating.Since the restoration of diplomatic relations and dispatching ambassadors to each other in August 2022, the relationship between the two sides has been eased for a while.However, since the outbreak of a new round of Pakistan-Israel conflict in October 2023, relations between the two countries have deteriorated rapidly. In November of the same year, Türkiye recalled its ambassador to Israel.
In May 2024, Türkiye suspended all import and export trade with Israel in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza.In November 2024, Turkish President Erdogan announced that he would "severe relations with Israel" and said that he would not take any measures to develop bilateral relations in the future.
According to shipping sources, Turkish port authorities have begun informally asking shipping agents to submit a guarantee stating that the ship has no contact with Israel and has not transported military or dangerous goods to Israel.The instructions were reportedly issued verbally by the Office of the Port Chief and apply to Türkiye throughout but have not been published in any official media.
