'Trade with Israel' debate between CHP and AKP delegations: 'Jet fuel' jab from Nazlıaka
The issue of trade with Israel and export restrictions came to the fore during the AKP delegation's visit to the CHP for the Eid al-Fitr holiday. CHP Deputy Chair and Women's Branch Chair Aylin Nazlıaka stated, "Some of the fuel for the planes bombing Gaza was provided from Turkey; it was a late but still appropriate decision." AKP MKYK member and Istanbul MP Hasan Sert said, "The trade we conduct with Palestine appears as if it were conducted with Israel."

Eid al-Fitr celebrations continue on the second day of the holiday with visits between political parties.
An AKP delegation led by AKP MKYK member and Istanbul MP Hasan Sert visited the CHP, where they were welcomed by CHP Deputy Chair and Women's Branch Chair Aylin Nazlıaka.
JET FUEL JAB
Addressing the decision to impose export restrictions on 54 product groups following the debates over trade with Israel, Nazlıaka said, "This decision, albeit late, has been a positive one. Some of the fuel for the planes bombing Gaza was provided from Turkey; it was a late but still appropriate decision. It has also been confirmed how correct the actions of our sisters who were detained with reverse handcuffs were. We have always said, 'Trade with Israel is a betrayal of Palestine.' Therefore, we will follow up on this limited decision."
In response to Nazlıaka's remarks, Sert said, "The trade we conduct with Palestine appears as if it were conducted with Israel. Because all permits are processed through Israel. Therefore, let us distinguish between them."
"MAY IT BE A HOLIDAY IN RED"
At the end of the visit, Nazlıaka remarked, "May it be a holiday in red. Red suited Turkey very well."
