Palestine welcomes Turkish decision

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Palestine welcomes Turkey’s decision to join Ankara’s trade embargo against Israel.

“We appreciate the major role of Turkey under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. We also welcome Turkey’s involvement in joining the lawsuit of the International Court of Justice,” Abbas said in a speech at the Turkish Parliament on Thursday.

According to him, Turkey suspended its trade cooperation worth 10 billion for the sake of the Palestinian people.
