1 min read

The anti-Israel protests in Turkey are increasing, with support coming from the Turkish Parliament, multiple universities, and local municipalities. They are boycotting major international brands believed to be backing Israel's actions against Hamas.

Turkey's parliament made a decision to restrict cafeterias from selling items produced by multinational corporations due to an allegation of supporting "Israeli aggression." The announcement was shared by parliament speaker Numan Kurtulmus in Turkey's Black Sea region, encouraging citizens to also refrain from purchasing these products.

The Turkish Grand National Assembly has decided to boycott products from companies supporting Israeli aggression. The Deputy Speaker Kurtulmus stated that they will stop purchasing these products and dispose of any already bought.

Kurtulmus decided not to mention specific brands, but Coca-Cola and Nescafe items were taken out from the parliament’s restaurants and cafeterias. The information was initially reported by the independent news source T24. Neither Kurtulmus nor his office, which also released a statement confirming the ban, provided a detailed explanation of how these brands were linked to Israel's actions in Gaza.
