Turkey says Israel not welcome at NATO summit

Turkey has refused to allow Israel to take part in a NATO summit next month because the Jewish state has not apologized for the 2010 killing of Turkish activists in a raid on a Gaza-bound ship, a Turkish official said on Monday.

"We did not give our consent on that issue," the official told Reuters when asked if Turkey was blocking Israel's participation in a NATO summit in Chicago on May 20-21. (Reuters)
