IIRC, Israel was hit with a trade embargo some time ago

The Arab League has been boycotting Israel since Israel became a nation. The boycott continues.

Understood..
Jordan however, no longer follows that embargo, and IIRC, neither does Egypt..
I'm not sure if Turkey is part of the Arab League, but they also trade with Israel on a number of different issues, as well as India..

That was not the embargo I was talking about..
I believe this embargo took place about the time that Arafat and the PLO was kicked out of (Lebanon?) and Arafat was exiled to Cyprus..
There was a "general" embargo put in place against Israel, and it's exports of produce, like oranges, tomatoes, etc. were blocked from all european ports..
