Flotilla Crisis May Hurt Turkish-Israeli Trade
(Reuters) Ari Rabinovitch and Joseph Nasr - The Gaza flotilla crisis between Israel and Turkey may disrupt a $3 billion trade channel that has been central to their once-strong alliance, Israeli and Turkish officials said on Monday. The Israel Travel Agents' Association said about 100,000 of the 150,000 Israelis who had planned vacations in Turkey this summer have cancelled. "Even tourists who had planned to fly to other destinations via Turkey have asked to fly through other countries," said Yossi Fatael, the group's director.
