Turkiye has refused Israeli President Isaac Herzog's request to utilize its airspace for a trip to the COP29 climate meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan's capital.

Officials verified that Israeli officials requested that Herzog's jet go via Turkish airspace while en way to the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference. However, Turkish officials rejected the request.

According to an office statement, Herzog canceled his participation in the Saturday conference citing "security concerns."

After the COP29 conference kicked off on Monday, dozens of protesters gathered in Baku, voicing opposition to "Israel".

Relations between Turkiye and "Israel" have deteriorated since the occupation launched its war on Gaza.

The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations accused Turkiye earlier this month of acting with "malice" following Ankara's submission of a letter, endorsed by 52 nations, urging a halt to arms deliveries to "Israel" due to the ongoing war on Gaza.

Danon remarked, "What else can be expected from a country whose actions are driven by malice in an attempt to create conflicts with the support of the 'Axis of Evil' countries," referring to Arab nations that co-signed the letter.

He further claimed that "this letter is further proof that the UN is led by some sinister countries and not by the liberal countries that support the values of justice and morality." 

'We have cut trade, ties with Israel, period,' Erdogan says

Broadcaster NTV cited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as expressing hope on Friday that US President-elect Donald Trump would urge "Israel" to halt its war, indicating that an initial step could involve ending US arms support to the Israeli occupation regime, Reuters reported.

When asked about economic relations with "Israel", Erdogan revealed that no ties were currently established between his nation and the occupation, nor does Turkiye wish to develop them under his leadership. 

"We have cut trade and ties with Israel, period," he asserted, according to Reuters. 

Turkey's exports to "Israel" nearly ceased in May after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's administration halted trade until sufficient humanitarian aid reached Gaza.

At the beginning of May, the Turkish Trade Ministry announced that trade relations with "Israel" would be suspended until Tel Aviv allowed for the "uninterrupted and sufficient flow" of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Turkey also recalled its ambassador to the Israeli occupation last year after the war on Gaza broke out, in addition to engaging in talks and initiatives to impose a global, collective arms embargo on "Israel".
