Israel warns media against boarding Gaza flotilla

Israel is threatening to bar international journalists from the country for years if they board ships attempting to breach the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The Government Press Office issued a statement calling the flotilla "a dangerous provocation" and an "international violation of Israeli law." It says participation in the flotilla "is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the state of Israel for 10 years" and to additional sanctions. (AP)
