Turkey: Israel not confident it can cope with facts
None
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu dismissed the possibility that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan would take part in a flotilla to Gaza. In an interview with US network CNN, he did not rule out the severing of ties between Ankara and Jerusalem, saying it depended on Israel's response.
Regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to reject an international investigation committee, Davutoglu said that Turkey's prime minister had agreed to the proposal, and that Israel's rejection was proof that it was not confident it will be able to cope with the facts.
