Turkey says Israeli claims of Ankara easing trade ban "fictional"

- Turkey
Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat said on Thursday that Israeli claims of Ankara easing its trade ban with Israel are "absolutely fictional and have nothing to do with reality."
Turkey's trade ban with Israel will remain in place until a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and humanitarian aid flow to the region is secured, the minister said in a post on X.
Israel's foreign minister said on Thursday that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had retreated on his earlier position and lifted many of the trade restrictions he imposed on Israel.
