Activists this morning handed in a protest letter at the Turkish embassy in London to demand that Turkey stops the process of "normalisation" with Israel.
Israel and Turkey have reached a preliminary agreement on normalising relations after ties broke down after the Israeli navy raided a flotilla trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza in 2010. Ten Turkish activists were killed. The deal will see Israel compensate families of those killed while Turkey will drop all claims against Israel.
The agreement is reported to have been reached at a meeting between senior Israeli and Turkish officials in Switzerland, the deal will also see the renewed exchange of ambassadors.
Talks will also begin on laying down a natural gas pipeline from Israel to Turkey.
The letter called upon Turkey to remember its responsibilities as a Muslim nation and the plight of the Palestinian people.
