Ashkenazi reacts to Turkey indictment: Common sense will prevail
None
Former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi has reacted to the indictment which was filed in Turkey against him and other senior IDF officers who were involved in the overpowering of the Marmara ship in 2010. "I'm sure that eventually common sense will prevail," he said.
"From the moment the affair broke out I chose to stand up in every forum, often alone to defend the IDF soldiers who did their duty in the field for the Israeli nation," the former chief of staff noted. "If the price for standing up is that I can't visit Turkey – I'll pay that price too." (Yoav Zitun)
