Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that he sees positive developments in the Gaza flotilla issue. "The Greek, Cypriot and Turkish governments are acting to restrain this thing as a result of Foreign Ministry activity and the Prime Minster's Office and Defense Ministry."
"We are using our connections with various governments around the world…What has really made a difference is the fact that it is clear to everyone that Gaza is open for transfer of goods and this is a provocation of Hamas among others." (Omri Ephraim)
