ISTANBUL – Israel and Turkey have reached an agreement to repair ties after six years of strained relations over an Israeli raid on a Turkish aid ship to Gaza in 2010, officials said Monday.<\/p>\n
“Relations with Israel have normalized,” Turkish prime minister Binali Yildirim said at a news conference in Ankara, Turkey’s capital.<\/p>\n
The deal was reached on Sunday in Rome, according to Israeli and Turkish officials, and calls for increased Turkish investment and aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
Israel will also provide a “humanitarian fund” of $20 million to family members of the activists killed on the ship, a senior Turkish official said.<\/p>\n
The official called the agreement a “diplomatic victory” for Turkey, and said that “representatives of the Palestinian government and Hamas have voiced their support” for the deal.<\/p>\n
It has “immense implications for the Israeli economy,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a press conference with Secretary of State John Kerry in Rome on Monday.<\/p>\n
Before the break, Turkey and Israel had close economic and military ties.<\/p>\n
The rapprochement between the once-close allies has been driven by both countries’ security concerns as Syria and other Middle Eastern nations fight protracted civil wars.<\/p>\n
