TEL AVIV. - Israel came up with a new offer of settling the conflict with Turkey, arisen after capture of Mavi Marmara ship and subsequent death of 9 Turkish citizens.

‘‘Ankara demands apologies and compensation of $50 thousand to each of victims’ families. Israel, however, has another solution – Tel-Aviv will express its deepest regret in the place if apologies but will double the sum,’’ says Israeli ISRAland news portal.   

According to Israel Info, Ankara still keeps silence, whereas unofficial sources say that the U.S. insists that the two sides come to an agreement by the time Palmer commission report is published.  

A UN Commission, headed by former Prime Minister of New Zealand Geoffrey Palmer, studied the circumstances of "freedom flotilla" ship detention, culminated in severe injuries of Israeli soldiers and deaths of nine participants of human rights protection operation.

The report recognizes Israel’s right to a naval blockade of Gaza but condemns the military action, which may be a basis for prosecution of Israeli soldiers abroad.

Publication of the so-called "Palmer report" was repeatedly postponed but the last deadline will expire after 10 days.
