ANKARA, Turkey — Israel has agreed to release all Turks involved in the Gaza aid flotilla, Turkish officials announced today as they prepared to host a joyous welcome home for the activists in Istanbul's main square.

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said 210 Turks were to be flown home from Israel on Turkish planes later today. He said Israel also assured Turkey it would not put on trial any of the hundreds of Turks it detained after seizing the aid ships Monday.

"No one has the right to try people who were kidnapped in international waters," Davutoglu added.

It was not clear when or how all the estimated 400 Turks on the aid ships would arrive home.

Davutoglu also called today for an international commission to investigate the nine deaths in the Israeli commando raid on the flotilla.

Israel's bloody raid on six aid ships that carried 700 activists who were trying to break Israel's navel blockade of Gaza has dramatically escalated tensions with Turkey. The attack killed nine people, including at least four Turks on a Turkish aid ship. Turkey withdrew its ambassador, scrapped war games with Israel and demanded a U.N. Security Council meeting on the clash as a result.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan chaired a security meeting today of the country's top military commanders and defense officials to discuss the Israeli raid as well as intensified Kurdish rebel attacks in the southeast.

The Parliament, meanwhile, held heated debates on whether to impose military and economic sanctions on Israel. But lawmakers of Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party objected to such measures in an apparent move to avoid aggravating the situation.

Davutoglu said a Turkish delegation was in Israel to oversee the return of the detained Turks, and two Turks in serious condition would remain in Israeli hospitals with a Turkish doctor.
