The United States embassy moves from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that is condemned by Turkey.
*
June 2018:
Turkey recalls its ambassador to Israel and expels the Israeli ambassador from Turkey.
*
July 2018:
Turkey and Israel engage in a war of words, with both sides accusing the other of aggression.
*
August 2018:
Turkey suspends trade with Israel.
The Impact of the Trade Suspension
The suspension of trade between Turkey and Israel is a significant development. The two countries have a long history of economic cooperation, and their trade relationship is worth billions of dollars. The suspension of trade is likely to have a negative impact on both economies.
The Future of Turkey-Israel Relations
It is unclear what the future holds for Turkey-Israel relations. The two countries have been at odds for many years, and it is possible that tensions will continue to escalate. However, it is also possible that the two countries will be able to find a way to resolve their differences and restore their diplomatic and trade relations.
Conclusion
The suspension of trade between Turkey and Israel is a serious development that could have a significant impact on both economies. It is unclear what the future holds for Turkey-Israel relations, but it is clear that the two countries are at a crossroads.
