Turkish PM dismisses Israeli report on flotilla

None

Turkey's prime minister is dismissing an Israeli inquiry's findings defending the actions of Israeli troops in the deadly interception of a Turkish-led protest flotilla to Gaza last year. Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters in Ankara on Sunday that the Israeli report had "no value or credibility." 

 

The Israeli inquiry found that the actions of troops who met violent resistance aboard one ship were legal under international law. Israeli troops killed nine of those on board. The report said soldiers were attacked by activists upon landing on the 600-passenger Mavi Marmara and used lethal force because their lives were in danger. (AP)
