Several countries have recently imposed significant trade restrictions on Israel. Turkey has completely suspended all economic and trade relations with Israel, closing its ports and airspace to Israeli vessels and aircraft. Colombia has banned all coal exports to Israel, a major economic blow as it supplied 60% of Israel's coal imports. Furthermore, the Houthis have escalated attacks on ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea, disrupting maritime security. These measures, cited as responses to the situation in Gaza, intensify economic pressure and regional instability.
