Turkey has completely cut off all trade relations with Israel and stopped Israeli planes from using its airspace amid mounting outrage over the Gaza conflict, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told parliament on Friday.

“We have closed our ports to Israeli ships. We do not allow Turkish ships to go to Israeli ports…. We do not allow container ships carrying weapons and ammunition to Israel to enter our ports, nor do we allow their aircraft to enter our airspace,” Fidan told lawmakers in a televised address.
