Germany, families of Munich massacre victims agree on compensation ahead of memorial – Berlin raises offer to 28 million euros; agreement ‘cannot heal all wounds. But it opens a door to each other,’ President Herzog and German counterpart say in joint statement | Timesofisrael

BERLIN (AP) — The families of 11 Israeli athletes killed by Palestinian attackers at the 1972 Munich Olympics have reached a deal with Germany over a long-disputed compensation claim, the German government said Wednesday. Earlier this month, the families had threatened to boycott Monday’s 50-year anniversary ceremony in Munich organized by German authorities because they said the amount they had been offered was too low.
