Business with blood; Which countries increased trade with Israel?
In the report, Yemanion News-Analytical Base pointed to the continuation of commercial exchange between some Arab and Islamic countries with the Zionist regime and emphasized that this commercial exchange is not only a clear violation of Islamic principles but also means supporting the crimes of the Tel Aviv regime. And in a way, it is considered a part of the process of normalizing relations with the regime.
Referring to the repeated attacks of the Zionist regime on Gaza in recent years, this report emphasized that this has caused widespread destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure and economic structure, and according to UN reports, 80% of the residents of Gaza need humanitarian aid. About 56 of these people are below the poverty line, while Gaza is unable to meet its basic needs, such as food, water, and electricity, especially after the current Zionist war.
Referring to the martyrdom of more than 40,000 Palestinians, Yemanion stressed that economic support to the Zionist regime strengthens the positions of this regime and creates a negative impact on the security and stability of the region.
This report further cited the report of the Zionist Statistics Center to provide statistics on the increase in trade between the Zionist regime and the first 5 Arab countries in the first half of this year and emphasized that according to this report, the total trade exchange between Israel and the 5 countries The UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and Morocco reached the figure of 367 million dollars in July.
According to this report, the UAE sent more than 272 million dollars worth of goods to the occupied territories in July alone, which has increased by 5% compared to the same period last year. With a 39% increase in its exports to the occupied territories, Egypt has given more than 35 million dollars of goods to the Zionist regime.
Jordan ranks third with 35 million dollars, although Jordanian exports to the occupied territories have decreased by 14% compared to the same period last year.
Despite the claims made in the media in support of Gaza and Palestine and enmity with the Zionist regime, Turkey has significant economic support from the Zionist regime. About 25% of Turkey’s trade volume with Arab countries is done through the port of Haifa, and the volume of trade exchange between Tel Aviv and Ankara is also very high so Tel Aviv is considered one of the 5 important economic origins of Turkey. Turkey’s trade exchange with the Zionist regime in 2016 was about 4.2 billion dollars, which has increased significantly in recent years.
At present, Turkish airlines make more than 60 weekly flights to the occupied territories, and the volume of passenger exchange between Ankara and Tel Aviv exceeds one million passengers per year.
The Arabic Post news site previously announced in a report that 442 Arab goods are still exported to the occupied territories.
