Rivlin: Turkish demand for an apology 'inappropriate'
None
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin addressed the diplomatic crisis with Turkey, saying Ankara's demand for a formal apology is inappropriate. "They demand of us to admit that the blockade on Gaza is immoral and illegal according to international law. This claim, of course, is illegitimate, in accordance with the conclusion of the Palmer Committee," he said.
However, Rivlin also rejected the remark that Turkey was a hostile entity. (Moran Azulay)
