Officials: Netanyahu determined not to apologize to Turkey
None
State officials involved in the relations between Israel and Turkey said that the Jewish State is not planning to apologize for the Gaza-bound flotilla incident, in which nine Turkish activists were killed.
"The prime minister is determined not to issue an apology," the officials said, adding that "Jerusalem has transmitted Washington messages according to which it does not intend to apologize for the incident." Another official added that while Israel is well aware of the possible consequences, "no normal state can operate under an ultimatum." (Atilla Somfalvi)
