Israel and Turkey are on the verge of a diplomatic reconciliation that will pave the way for a full-fledged restoration of normalized ties that predated the infamous Marmara incident of 2010, Channel 10 reported on Thursday.
Yossi Cohen, the National Security Council chief who is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s choice to succeed Tamir Pardo as head of Mossad, met in Switzerland with a Turkish official on Wednesday, Channel 10 learned.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the two sides agreed to re-station ambassadors in their respective countries. Turkey agreed to nullify all legal claims against IDF soldiers involved in the Marmara affair.
Israel, for its part, agreed to establish an aid fund for the families of those who died in the raid.
Ankara also agreed to Israel’s demand that it cease permitting terrorists freedom of operation in Turkey. Salah Aruri, the senior Hamas official believed to have masterminded the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens in Gush Etzion last year, will not be permitted to enter Turkey.
As part of the deal, Turkey will also permit a gas pipeline to run through its territory. In addition, Ankara has agreed in principle to immediately purchase natural gas from Israel.
The Channel 10 report was confirmed later on Thursday evening by an official in the Prime Minister’s Office.
Earlier this week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his country stood to benefit from restored relations with Israel.

Israel Hatzolah is full crap. But either way, we don't expect anything from anybody in the region. You are no better than Turkey. Look at the region, the people have prioritized sectarian struggle to take over region. That's all that's important to every state in the region. So I don't want to see anyone play the Palestine card. Palestinians are better off on their own doing popular uprising. All we tell you people in the region is to regain some sanity.

Hamas isn't the only party in Palestine and they will be fine if something like this does occur. Palestinians are doing uprising against apartheid occupation while the rest of you killing/ravaging like crazy over nationalist agendas.

If that is true, I truly hope Iran will continue to shun Hamas. Let these traitors go to Qatar or something. Oh wait, they were kicked from Qatar as well.

Well, let them seek shelter in Sinai then.

If that is true, I truly hope Iran will continue to shun Hamas' political wing. Let these traitors go to Qatar or something. Oh wait, they were kicked from Qatar as well.

Well, let them seek shelter in Sinai then.

You really are a naive person, Iran has better things to do than worry about Palestine. Palestine is least on its agenda. Yemen, arming Bahraini Shia's, arming Iraqi's, arming Saudi Shia's is more important for Iran's agenda. Hamas political or military doesn't have ties with you. We don't need to join any camp in this region as they are all inhumane camps which have agenda detrimental to peace in the region and doesn't serve any just cause. Palestinians should just say anyone is welcome to provide support but we are not joining any camp. And nobody can tamper with our culture or beliefs.

So Hamas, Fatah anybody, is not joining any exclusive camp. You need to learn to accept that already. Look at this sectarian war all sides have caused in the region. That's all that concerns you. So leave me without your fake outrage.

If you want ties with any Palestinian movement, it's very simple. We will not join any camp or back this sectarian war in region. We will not take any foreign orders, and finally don't mess with our religious beliefs and don't try spreading yours in our country. If these conditions are met then there can be ties. If they aren't then that is that. Anyways your sectarian regional war is more important to you so go pay attention to that.

You really are a naive person

Is that so? Lets see then.

Iran has better things to do than worry about Palestine. Palestine is least on its agenda.

Correct. Syria and Iraq have more priorities at the moment. But you seem to forget all those tens of millions of dollars your leaders were getting from Iran each year and the fact that Iran moved heaven and earth to smuggle some equipment to Gaza. But then again, why would I mention this. You Palestinians have short memory when it comes to the support you guys have get.

Yemen

How? I've yet to see huge amounts of Iranian weaponry in the hands of Houthis. They seem to do fine with the arms they have captured.

arming Bahraini Shia's

There is no arming of Bahraini Shias.

arming Iraqi's

Iraq is on Iran's border and without Iran's help Baghdad would've fallen in the hands of IS last year. It's a national security issue for Iran.

arming Saudi Shia's is more important for Iran's agenda

There is no arming of Saudi Shia's.

Hamas political or military doesn't have ties with you.

Lets hope it stays so. We don't do business with traitors.

Yemen: not enough helping them
Bahrain : not helping them and it is very clear if you had some minimum knowledge and non fanatics education
Iraq : of course
saudi shia: what a joke . you want too much please your saudis and happy to say such bullshit

Hamas political or military doesn't have ties with you. We don't need to join any camp in this region as they are all inhumane camps which have agenda detrimental to peace in the region and doesn't serve any just cause.

down with terrorist Hamas , band of retards who don't let the Palestinian democracy

You are misinformed person. There was money going to national budget to pay salaries prior to 2012. That is done now. Alliances come and go, Hamas pulled out of taking any sides in region and that is the right position. Their position is very clear, we aren't being exclusive to any camp since there is raging sectarian war in region which is becoming more dangerous by the day. I'm not getting into logistics of military secrets, but no it's how you frame it.

How? I've yet to see huge amounts of Iranian weaponry in the hands of Houthis. They seem to do fine with the arms they have captured.

There is both Iranian weaponry and many Soviet/Russian stockpiles of local weapons. Iranian role is more about funding. But that is Iran's business, I don't care what you do in Yemen but just pointing out to you that Iran has more nationalist based agenda and its immediate interests are in Arab world. So I don't see point of saber rattling.

There is no arming of Bahraini Shias.

This is long term goal, or at least get regime change in Bahrain.

Iraq is on Iran's border and without Iran's help Baghdad would've fallen in the hands of IS last year. It's a national security issue for Iran.

Actually I give more credit to US. But I still don't believe ISIS is capable of taking capital.

Lets hope it stays so. We don't do business with traitors.

Anyway, I don't talk much with children. But as I said enjoy your sectarian war in the region. We want nothing to do with it and made the right decision. So please stay away from us and instead focus on your sectarian war. It's better for us. Hamas took ethical position which hurt it in short term but in long term will reap benefits. All Palestinian parties also don't want anything to do with sectarian regional war.

ummah should join palestine and declare war on israel, we iranian support them

Good deal,we wont be dependent on Russia for gas anymore.

the best solution for Palestinians is:
- democracy
- peace with Israel
- withdraw of West bank by Israelis and giving the lands back
If they respect each other that will be good for both sides ... of course corrupted , fanatic guys will support Hamas and no peace process , and so it is for the few Israeli fanatics too.

and by the way we are Iranians not Palestinians. we have no right to decide the future of Palestinians
by supporting terrorist groups . we finished with Hamas.... what a good new.

Sir stay on topic. I agree Iranian decide fate of Iranian people. Palestinian decide fate of their decisions. Now move on.

I believe, Turkey will make sure that Palestine is not isolated... It is also important for Turkey to make relations, as otherwise, It should go into war with Israel, Greece and Egypt triangle which is plus to Iran and Russian alliance...
This way, Israel need Turkey and Turkey can use Israeli help against Russia.. Especially, i strongly believe that, Turkey needs Surface to Air missiles against Russian jets... That will be the game changer in the region!
Once, Russian jets will fall down from the skies shooten by "rebels"... , Russia will rush to leave the region!
Now, Israel also need it, to start the gas sale. basically, win win situation!
Putin played gas card against Europe, Now, Europe looking for another gas supply. They did the same mistake against Turkey! What a foolish guy...
