Turkey's Erdogan Planning to Visit Gaza
(Zaman-Turkey) Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has revived a plan to make a postponed visit to Gaza and demanded that Israel lift its blockade as a precondition to restore ties between Turkey and Israel. Israel has many times reached out to Turkey to normalize ties, but Turkey says its three demands must be realized to restore relations. Turkey has demanded an apology for the Marmara incident, compensation for the families of victims and the lifting of the Gaza blockade. Israel only expressed regret and says its soldiers acted in self-defense.
