Israel to allow Turkey to wire money to Gaza banks

Israel will allow Turkey to transfer money to a list of pre-approved banks in the Gaza Strip, a Hebrew-language copy of the rapprochement deal between the two countries shows.

The document, published by the Walla news site, confirms that the Israeli government will transfer $20 million to Turkey “in order to compensate the families bereaved during the (Mavi Marmara) flotilla incident.”

It is signed by Foreign Ministry Director Dore Gold and a Turkish undersecretary of state.
