ANKARA, April 9. /TASS/. Turkey will introduce restrictions on the export of 54 items of industrial goods to Israel from April 9 until the end of hostilities in Gaza and the creation of conditions for the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave.

According to the relevant decision by the republic’s Ministry of Trade, the restrictions will apply to various types of products made from steel, aluminum, paint, electrical cables, aviation fuel, oils, fertilizers, and some types of industrial equipment.

The list of restrictions also includes cement, all types of construction materials made of iron and steel, fittings, fiber optic cables, forklifts, excavators, granite, marble, insulating materials, metalworking equipment, machine tools, bricks and clinker, as well as chemicals used for metal processing.

"The decision is subject to immediate implementation. The established restrictions will remain in force until Israel, as part of its international obligations, declares an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and allows the uninterrupted supply of aid in sufficient quantities," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry also recalls that regarding the situation in Gaza, three UN resolutions and one decision of the International Court of Justice have been adopted, "which are binding on Israel."

The ministry stressed that Israel continues to "flagrantly violate international law and ignore numerous calls from the international community for a ceasefire and the uninterrupted provision of humanitarian assistance."

"Unfortunately, Israel has not complied with a single decision adopted in this context by the UN Security Council, the UN General Assembly, the UN Human Rights Council and the International Court of Justice. In fact, Turkey has long not allowed the sale to Israel of any goods or services that could be used in military purposes," the Turkish ministry said.

The ministry also called on "all members of the international community to contribute to ensuring that Israel fulfills its obligations under international law."

On April 8, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that the republic’s authorities decided to introduce a number of new measures against Israel. He explained that previously humanitarian aid was sent to Gaza through Jordan and dropped by parachute. Turkey, he said, invited Jordan to join this work and deliver assistance with military transport aircraft of its air force. This proposal was positively received by the Jordanian authorities, but the Israeli side rejected the plan, which is probably prompted the statements about measures against Israel.
