Turkey on Friday froze all military pacts with Israel, expelled the Israeli ambassador and threatened legal sanctions after a U.N. report on the May 2010 raid failed to trigger an Israeli apology. The report said that Israel had used unreasonable force in the raid of the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara, but added that pro-Palestinian activists onboard mounted organised and violent resistance. Turkey also wants an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza and compensation for the families of the those killed in the raid. "We do not need to apologize that the naval commandos defended themselves against the violent activists," Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting, echoing a statement issued by his office on Friday. "I hope a way can be found to overcome the dispute with Turkey. Israel never wanted its relations with Turkey to deteriorate and now too Israel is not interested in a deterioration in relations," he said. The U.N. report by a four-member panel said Israel's naval blockade of Gaza was a legitimate security measure to prevent weapons from reaching the enclave but the amount of force used by the Israeli commandos was "excessive and unreasonable." Publication of the so-called Palmer report was delayed repeatedly to allow for months of rapprochement talks between Israel and Turkey, once close strategic allies, at a time of wide upheaval in the Middle East. Turkey said it will now pursue criminal cases against Israeli officials responsible for the killings on board the Marmara, which the crew said was delivering aid to Gaza. Ankara also rejected the report's finding on the blockade and said on Saturday it would apply for an investigation by the International Court of Justice into its legality. "To the naval commandos I want to say: In the same way that you and the rest of the IDF's (Israel Defense Force's) soldiers protect us, we will defend you in every place and at every forum," Netanyahu said at the cabinet meeting. "But as well as this I repeat: The state of Israel expresses regret at the loss of life." Turkey's prime minister, Tayyip Erdogan, regarded as a hero in the Muslim world for championing the Palestinian cause, is expected to go to Egypt later this month. A security source in the Gaza Strip said Erdogan was planning to visit the territory, which shares a border with Egypt. There has been no official announcement of a Gaza visit. A visit by Erdogan to Gaza could deepen the rift with Israel.

He has engaged in bombing in another nation. He sent those ships to break a blockade and, if anyone was at fault for the loss of life, it was him. The commission basically said the Israeli’s had the right to board and defend themselves and the blockade was legal. The “excessive force” was for not giving more warning (which is absolute BS — more warning would have been more time to prepare to attack the boarding party — and the flotilla was warned from the beginning that they would be boarded and turned around. When will the world see that Erdogan and his party are turning Turkey away from its prior relationship with the rest of the world in his quest to establish another theocracy ala Iran. I predict we will see Turkey under Erdogan begin to develop a close relationship with Iran and continue to lock up anyone who disagrees with him as a “terrorist.” Sep 04, 2011 10:39am EDT -- Report as abuse See All Comments » Add Your Comment Social Stream (What's this?)
