Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan are currently examining an agreement that was recently drafted to end the diplomatic crisis between the two countries, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News reported.
According to the Hurriyet report, Erdogan has postponed a trip to the Gaza Strip due to the possibility that Israel will apologize for its May 2010 raid of a Gaza-bound flotilla in which nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists died.
The report of a UN commission that investigated the circumstances surrounding the flotilla raid will be published on July 27.
On Tuesday, the Turkish newspaper Sabah reported that Erdogan had received a draft of the agreement to end the diplomatic crisis with Israel.
It is believed that Erdogan is using a Gaza visit as a bargaining chip to pressure Israel to accept an agreement that includes an apology for the killing of the flotilla activists.
The Hurriyet report cited diplomatic sources as saying that Erdogan had planned to enter Gaza at the Rafah Crossing on July 21 during a visit to Egypt.
On Tuesday, the Turkish representative on the UN commission investigating the flotilla told Haaretz that July 27 is the "last chance" to solve the crisis between Israel and Turkey.
Ozdem Sanberk did not deny reports in the Turkish media that a memorandum of understanding, with the Erdogan, has been worked out to end the crisis.
However, he said, Turkey was waiting for Israel's response.
