Exports to Israel increased by 35 percent: 'Either Bilal Erdoğan or Ömer Bolat...'

Minister of Trade Ömer Bolat said in a speech on November 7, 2023, "Since October 7, our mutual trade with Israel has decreased by more than 50 percent compared to the same period last year."

Bolat later stated on December 17, 2023, "Turkey-Israel foreign trade has decreased by 48 percent since October. Our goods arriving at the country's ports are actually being delivered to Palestine." 

BILAL ERDOĞAN HAD SAID "CAPITAL OWNERS SHOULD WATCH THEIR STEP"

Karar columnist İbrahim Kahveci said the following in his article addressing exports to Israel:

"So there is truly a great success here! Why do we call this situation a success? Let us say it immediately: How could exports have increased this much in response to a country leader who is practically breathing fire at Israel in words? This is exactly where the success lies...

In fact, an Israel protest demonstration was held on the Galata Bridge on the first day of the new year. I think if they had seen the export figures, it would have been a demonstration celebrating the success of trade with Israel.

Even Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's son, Bilal Erdoğan, is threatening Turkey's capital owners: And he says, 'Capital owners should watch their step.'

I wonder, did Bilal Erdoğan receive news of this export increase in advance and make this threat? But then why did Minister of Trade Ömer Bolat make statements that were the exact opposite of his own Ministry's figures?

Either Bilal Erdoğan or Ömer Bolat... One of them, but which one?"
