Israel To Grant Turkey Access To Gaza For Construction Of Hospital

After months of negotiation between Israel and Turkey, Israel has agreed to allow Turkish trucks to bring building materials into Gaza to construct a hospital. Turkey sees Israel’s agreement as a hint of its willingness to patch up the countries’ bruised relations following the Mavi Marmara incident in May 2010, when the IDF boarded a Turkish flotilla carrying massive amounts of weapons to the Gaza Strip.  One of Turkey’s conditions for reconciliation is Israel lifting the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
