Report: Israel Offered $6 Million to Turk Raid Victims
(Reuters-Chicago Tribune) Jonathon Burch and Tulay Karadeniz - Turkish lawyer Ramazan Ariturk said on Thursday that Israel had offered to pay $6 million to victims of Israel's storming of a Gaza-bound Turkish aid flotilla to settle lawsuits against the Israeli military. However, a senior Israeli official said that Israel, having indicated last year that it was prepared to indemnify victims without accepting blame, had not renewed its offer.
