Turkey and the Zionist entity reached an agreement to normalize ties with details to be announced later this day
Turkey and the Zionist entity reached an agreement to normalize ties, according to Israeli and Turkish media.
The agreement was reported on Sunday, six years after an Israeli raid that killed 10 Turkish activists as an aid flotilla sought to break the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Turkish undersecretary to the foreign ministry Feridun Sinirlioglu and Joseph Ciechanover, who represented Israel at the UN Gaza Flotilla Probe, met in Rome on Sunday to discuss the reconciliation deal, Turkish daily Hurriyet said.
An Israeli official speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity said the agreement had been finalized but details would not be officially announced until Monday.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim is also expected to hold a press conference about the Israeli reconciliation deal in Ankara on Monday, Hurriyet reported, citing the prime minister's office as the source.
Two of Turkey's key conditions for normalization - an apology and compensation - were met earlier, leaving its third demand, that ‘Israel’ lift its blockade on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip undermined.
As part of the deal, Turkey has committed to keeping Hamas resistance movement from carrying out activities against the Israeli occupation from its country, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
