Haaretz suggests Erdogan may delay or abandon visit to Gaza if Israel apologises for Mavi Marmara killings. Some inside the state apparatus are urging the Israeli government to do precisely that or risk IDF soldiers being indicted by the international court after the publication of the UN's stalled report on the massacre.
Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein has advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel should apologize for the deadly takeover of the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara ship last year, in which nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists were killed, sources in Jerusalem said Thursday.

Therefore, he recommends reaching an understanding with Turkey, even if that means issuing an apology. The Justice Department declined to comment on these details. more
