Türkiye has been criticizing Israel
Last month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had demanded from the United Nations a ban on arms supplies to Israel. He had said that this is the only effective solution to stop the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Erdoğan has been highly critical of Israel since the start of the war. It also ended trade relations with Israel in May.
Close collaborators also stopped the supply of weapons.
At the same time, some of Israel’s allies have also stopped supplying weapons to Israel. The most prominent name in this is France. Last month, French President Emmanuel Macron imposed a ban on arms supplies to Israel, saying this is the only way to end the conflict in Gaza. In early September, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had also stopped the delivery of some weapons.
However, despite huge protests in Britain, the British Liberal government has not yet completely banned the supply of weapons to Israel. Apart from this, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélonie Jolie also canceled 30 weapons permits granted to Israel in the month of September itself.
