<p>OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman wants to eject some 350 Turkish construction workers as Israel&#8217;s relations with Turkey have spiraled after the 2010 flotilla attack.</p>
<p>Israeli ministers Ehud Barak and Lieberman have been at odds over whether to meet Turkey&#8217;s condition of an apology over the attack before it would restore ties with Israel.</p>
<p>The workers were brought into Israel to upgrade tanks that the Israeli Military Industries was contracted to build under a defense agreement.</p>
<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a cabinet meeting on Wednesday to mull over Turkey&#8217;s demands for an apology, compensation to be paid to the flotilla victims&#8217; families, and lift the blockade enforced on the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>The war ministry wants to extend the workers&#8217; visas amid fears that ejecting the workers could dampen already dismal relations with Turkey.</p>
