Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday declared a total freeze of military and trade ties with Israel and threatened to visit Gaza Strip. The Turkish moves come over the row between the two countries over last year's attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, which sa nine Turks shot dead by Israeli commando soldiers.
Last week, Turkey announced that Israeli ambassador was being expelled and all bilateral military agreements were suspended. "We are totally suspending our trade, military, defence industry relations," Erdogan told reporters, according to AFP.
