The cabinet on Wednesday, 23 Sivan, voted to approve the draft agreement to restore diplomatic ties between Israel and Turkey. As indicating they would, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Education Minister Naftali Bennett voted against the agreement.

According to a Haaretz report quoting two cabinet ministers anonymously, the agreement is three pages long including one-page addressing Israeli compensation for the Marvi Mamara. The document also contains a half page in which Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has ordered his institutions to do whatever possible to bring an end to the matter of missing Israelis in Gaza as a humanitarian gesture.
