For members of the right-wing government already rattled by the airdrops of humanitarian supplies into Gaza, the latest development is likely to cause even greater outrage. Not only is humanitarian aid entering the Strip, but it is now clear that it is coming from a country that has openly voiced support for Israel's enemies - Turkey.
Israel Hayom has obtained images and eyewitness accounts from the port of Ashdod showing cargo arriving from Turkey being unloaded and loaded onto trucks bound for Gaza. Witnesses on the scene confirmed that the shipments include dozens of tons of goods. Boxes clearly bear Turkish labels, including the words "sunflower oil" in Turkish and branding from a well-known Turkish company.
Turkey has been ramping up its anti-Israel rhetoric and actions in recent months. Erdoğan recently declared, "Allah will destroy Israel," and threatened that Turkey is considering direct intervention in the war in Gaza.
