Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon addresses students at Bogazici (Bosphorus) University in Istanbul May 21, 2010. Credit: Reuters/Murad Sezer JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has proposed a multi-national investigation of Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship in which nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed, an Israeli official said on Sunday. World Ban has suggested establishing a panel that would be headed by former New Zealand prime minister Geoffrey Palmer and include representatives from Turkey -- under whose flag the ship sailed -- Israel and the United States, said the official. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the proposal with Ban on Saturday and planned to convene senior cabinet ministers on Sunday to discuss whether Israel would take part, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Israeli leaders have spoken publicly about setting up an Israeli investigation with foreign observers into the interception of the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara last Monday. Ban also discussed with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erodogan "options for moving forward with the investigation called for by the Security Council," the U.N. said on its website, referring to the Council's call for an impartial inquiry. Israel's navy again boarded a ship carrying aid to Gaza on Saturday. Its interception of the MV Rachel Corrie ended without violence after diplomatic efforts to avoid bloodshed. After Monday's incident, Turkey's relations with Israel, once a close ally, soured badly. The Israeli official said the hope was that cooperation between Israel and Turkey in a committee would help mend ties. The official said Israel also wanted to establish whether the Turkish government sponsored the Mavi Marmara, where activists used clubs and a knife to attack the marines -- resistance that appeared to catch Israeli military planners off guard. Israel said seven troops were wounded. Participation of Israel's main ally the United States could address Israeli concerns about the panel's impartiality. Together with Egypt, Israel tightened its blockade on the Gaza Strip after Hamas took over the coastal territory in 2007. (Editing by Myra MacDonald) World Comments See All Comments (7) | Post Comment Jun 05, 2010 9:30pm EDT Serious typo above: “Israeli officials have PROPOSED a foreign role in an Israeli inquiry.” NO! You mean to say they have OPPOSED… srdiamond Report As Abusive Jun 05, 2010 9:50pm EDT “We are working urgently with Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other international partners to develop new procedures for delivering more goods and assistance to Gaza,” a spokesman for the White House National Security Council said. “The current arrangements are unsustainable and must be changed.” Well thank you for your pronouncement, Mr. President. This administration is so full of itself that it feels it has the power to foist it’s opinion on any nation it pleases, and the press picks it up and runs with it, if it suits their editorial purposes. I don’t think our President has the authority to tell another government how to conduct it’s business – nor for that matter does the UN. Why the UN and the US government thinks they can arrogantly tell a country how to defend itself against a long term and proven threat is beyond comprehension. If the shoe was on the other foot, I doubt that Mr. Obama and Ban Ki Moon and his minions would be receptive to some nation’s attempt at arm twisting to change their internal policies regarding defense. As far as the case of the Turkish ship goes, these people came looking to cause trouble and they received a generous portion of it, as they should have. By committing violence they got an appropriate measure in return. Do you know what the difference between martyr and imbecile? The martry is not trying to actively acheive that status, the imbecile on the other hand seeks to be dealt the death card and their compatriots lie about the true nature of their participation in the incident. The difference is clear cut – too bad these twits can’t see the folly of their own provocative actions. BorneoBaby Report As Abusive Jun 05, 2010 10:09pm EDT I believe the credibility gap is on the “peace activist’s” side rather than Israel’s. Everytime the organizations that support the Palestinians fabricates a story to cast Israel in a bad light they also downplay their long history of instigating conflicts with Israel and they cry wolf to the world. Unfortunately for the Palestinian people they get caught in the middle of something they usually don’t have an active part in just like the Israeli civilians do when they are subjected to attack after attack on their lives. When the IDF acts on behalf of the citizens of Israel they are condemned, however when the attacks are initiated by pro-palestinian forces the world and media ignores or minimizes the loss of life. How can we rely on what the media reports to be the truth, untainted with politics? The answer, sadly, is that we can’t. When the media creates the news instead of reporting only the facts they engage in the conflict themselves by taking a stand on one side. I have observed that Reuters is not a reliable source of news because of this very thing; they always get caught editorializing the news. Unfortunately most of the media also operates the same way, and it is dishonest and disrespects people as if they don’t have the intellect to judge the facts themselves. True journalism died sometime in the 1960’s and has failed all attempts of resuscitation so far. BorneoBaby Report As Abusive Jun 05, 2010 10:41pm EDT So, everything Israel does in an attept to keep from being wiped off the face of the earth, is bad. Turkey, sending Islamic militants into Israeli waters, is doing good for the folks in Gaza. Why is Turkey holding the Kurdish leader, Ocalan in one of its disgusting prisons? Are they trying to protect Turkey? Hmmm… Something seems rotten in Denmark, or iis it Turkey.

It’s saying what can and can’t happen to about 4 million Palestinians. My grandmother was a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto. She would be turning in her grave to see Israel killing aid workers trying to take food to a population which are imprisoned and suffering malnutrition. And to those people who think Israel allows supplies into Gaza once they are unloaded off aid ships – even Israel admits that is not the case. No building materials (to repair houses) are allowed in, and only basic food is allowed in. Hundreds of items ranging from cinnamon to pasta are just confiscated and not passed on. That has nothing to do with Israel’s security, but everything to do with race hatred. MikeOz Report As Abusive Jun 06, 2010 2:32am EDT Gaza was a shame in many respects, but with the world focused on the events in international waters I wonder how the land grab in the west bank is going. pziggs Report As Abusive See All Comments (7) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
