Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today (March 24, 2013) that he expects Israel to compensate Turkey and lift the maritime blockade against Hamas before Ankara normalizes relations with Jerusalem, the Jewish Press website reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Turkey on March 22 -- almost at the same time President Barack Obama left Israel for Jordan -- over the "tragic" results of the clash between Turkish terrorists and Israeli commandos who were virtually unarmed when they boarded a ship that was trying to break the maritime blockade.
"We have said, 'An apology will be made, compensation will be paid, and the blockade on Palestine will be lifted,'" the Turkish leader said.
Erdogan added, "There will be no normalization (of diplomatic relations) without these."
