Israeli cabinet ministers on 29th June 2016 approved a deal with Turkey at the weekend on normalising relations after years of acrimony over a deadly 2010 raid on a Gaza bound aid flotilla
  • Security cabinet approved the deal 7-3 after four and a half years of debate giving the final Israeli government approval
  • PM Benjamin Netanyahu and others promoted economic benefits with talk of creating the pipeline to Turkey to export Israeli gas and the need to find allies in the Middle East
  • Turkey will be allowed to provide aid for Palestinians in Gaza as part of the deal, but Netanyahu has stressed the Israel blockage on the enclave to remain in position
