The Turkish parliament late Friday approved a deal for Israel to pay compensation for victims of the 2010 Mavi Marmara tragedy, Anadolu reported.
The deal involves Tel Aviv paying $20 million to the families as part of a normalization agreement between the two countries secured last month after a six-year hiatus in ties.
The sum will be transferred in a one-time deposit to a bank account opened by Turkey and shared through diplomatic channels, and the transaction will be completed within 25 business days of the bilateral agreement coming into force.
