Israel's prime minister has apologised to Turkey for any mistakes that could have resulted in the loss of lives during the 2010 raid on a flotilla that tried to breach the blockade of Gaza.
In a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to compensate the families of the victims.
Mr Netanyahu had previously only expressed regret for the nine deaths.
The stance significantly damaged relations between the two US allies.
