Israel and Turkey have agreed a "water for arms" deal which will see millions of gallons of fresh water shipped in giant tankers across the eastern Mediterranean and into Israeli ports, a British newspaper said Tuesday.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Turkish Energy Minister Zeki Cakan reached the landmark agreement at a meeting in Jerusalem on Monday, The Guardian newspaper said.
Under the deal Israel will build a fleet of giant water tankers to ship 50 million cubic metres of water a year for 20 years from the river Manavgat in Anatolia with Turkey buying an unspecified number of Israeli tanks and air force technology, according to the daily.

Turkey has been Israel's main regional ally since 1996 when the two
countries signed a military cooperation accord, much to the anger of Arab
nations and Iran.
