ISTANBUL – Turkish enterpreneurs are backing a boycott of Israeli goods in response to Israels recent military attack on Gaza which had killed 815 Palestinians by Friday. A worldwide boycott can affect the Israeli economy, entrepreneurs from the Anatolian Businesspersons Association and Istanbul Commodity Exchange said on Friday. In addition to the protests, nationwide boycotts on Israeli products have started in Turkey. Municipalities from a number of regions in Turkey have called for the boycott of Israeli goods and urged the public not to buy them. They announced a list of goods produced in Israel or by companies closely linked to Israel through social media posts. Istanbul Commodity Exchange Chairman Ali Kopuz said Muslims all around the world have been boycotting the products of Israeli origin to a degree that can leave permanent damage on the countrys economy.
