Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is postponing the delivery of a UN panel's report on Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla that killed nine Turkish activists.
He says the reason for the delay is to give the two governments more time to reach a ‘harmonious agreement' on its findings.
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has ruled out normalising ties with Israel until the Jewish state ‘officially apologises' for the May 2010 raid.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said his country will not apologise.
