In the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict that started on October 7, Turkey's trade relations with Israel have come under scrutiny, especially after Turkey continued its trade with Israel despite international criticism and a controversial 21-ton boron mine shipment to an Israeli company linked to the Israeli army. Six months into the conflict, Turkey announced trade restrictions against Israel targeting 54 product groups, a move criticized by CHP Deputy Chairman Volkan Demir as too little, too late.

He also demands transparency in Turkey's exports to Israel and the establishment of a humanitarian aid corridor independent of Israeli control.
