There are petitions pending with the High Court of Justice challenging the conciliatory agreement signed recently with Israel. That agreement compels Israel to pay $21 in compensatory payments for the nine Turkey nationals killed on board the Marvi Mamara flotilla vessel that tried breaking the IDF Navy blockage on Gaza.

One petition was filed by members of the elite Shayetet 13 naval commando unit, citing the “unwritten agreement” that exists between the State of Israel and its soldiers, to stand behind them and back them.

The photo accompanying the article shows the prosecutor in the case representing the State of Israel against petitioners, a Gerrer Chossid from the prosecutor’s office.
