TodayKorea=Reporter Jin Min-seok | As the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, a Palestinian militant faction, escalates due to Hamas’s surprise attack, controversy is arising as the Turkish Parliament has decided to ban products from companies that support Israel.

According to foreign media such as Reuters, the Turkish Parliament announced on the 9th (local time) that “products of companies supporting Israel will not be sold in facilities within the parliament, such as restaurants, cafeterias, and tea houses.”

They added that Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş made this decision to support the public boycott of products from companies that openly declare their support for Israel’s war crimes, which involve killing innocent residents in the Gaza Strip.

Kurtulmuş also raised criticism by stating that “we will throw away even the things we have already bought.”

However, the Turkish Parliament did not specifically mention which brands this measure targets.

Nevertheless, Reuters cited sources that global food companies Coca-Cola and Nestlé had been expelled.

An official said that Coca-Cola beverages and Nestlé’s instant coffee have recently been removed from the menu, adding, “There was a tremendous protest from the public targeting these companies.”

Regarding this movement, Reuters pointed out that “such actions by the Turkish Parliament are among the first by a government or major organization to target big global brands in the Israel-Hamas war”.among the first by a government or major organization to target big global brands.

Meanwhile, Israel, which started a ground war with Hamas and the Gaza Strip in Palestine, initiated urban warfare after 10 days.

According to the Israeli media Haaretz, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a national speech on the 7th that “we have surrounded Gaza City” and “we are carrying out ground operations inside and intensifying pressure every day, every hour.”

Gaza City is known as the largest core city in the Gaza Strip and a major military base for Hamas, a Palestinian armed terrorist organization.
