The Israeli government will consider Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s proposal to impose high duties on Turkish imports on Sunday, June 16. This comes after Turkey initially banned direct exports to Israel and imports from Israel in May, which was later relaxed with some products exempted. However, trade between the two countries continued through Greece and Bulgaria.
Smotrich’s plan includes temporarily cancelling preferential tax rates under the free trade agreement between Israel and Turkey and adding a 100% duty on imported goods during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s term. This would effectively halt the import of Turkish products into Israel. The decision aims to protect Israel’s economic interests by responding to Turkey’s trade restrictions.
