The Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan that voted for the reconciliation agreement, explains that after the Cabinet meeting that Turkey cannot influence Hamas to return the bodies of Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin.

According to Erda, the agreement has many important economic and security benefits, for example: "The recognition of our naval blockade of Gada, as well as Turkey's commitment to send goods to Gaza, via Israeli channels, only as long as a peaceful situation continues there. When all isn't quiet, Turkey won't send aid to Gaza." he clarified.
