Infolive.tv - Israel News - Israeli and Turkish representatives are working against the clock in New York, trying to patch together a formula to end the Mavi Marmara affair before a July 7 deadline set for the issuing of a UN report on the incident that could potentially exacerbate tensions between the two countries. Diplomatic sources say this deadline has served as an impetus to both sides to try to find a formula, amid concern that once the report is issued it would be more difficult for Turkey or Israel to reconcile the matter. The Turks are demanding an Israeli apology and compensation to the victims, but Israel has said that while it was willing to pay compensation -- as long as it was done in a way that would not open it up to future legal claims -- it would not apologize. Rather, Jerusalem has said it would be willing to express regret for the loss of life.
