With the decision of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to impose an embargo on Israeli products, Turkey will also review its economic ties with Israel after the upcoming early June 24 elections, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, Hurriyet reports. 

"I hope the OIC counties will put the decision of the embargo into practice. After all, there will be no way to get any products from them anymore. Of course, we will assess the situation as well. As Turkey, we will evaluate our ties, particularly economic and trade, with them [Israel]. We have an upcoming election. We will take steps in this direction after the elections," he told a group of journalists on his way from Bosnia-Herzegovina to Turkey.
