Gaza Flotilla Received Assistance from Turkish Government
(Ha'aretz) Chaim Levinson - Data found on a laptop of a Polish journalist, Ewa Jasiwicz, a passenger on the Gaza flotilla, indicates that the flotilla's organizers received assistance from the highest levels of the Turkish government, including Prime Minister Erdogan and other senior government officials. A record of a May 16 meeting held in Istanbul between the heads of the organizations involved and the captains of the vessels notes: "Turkey - Government did not announce openly support for the mission at first; but [in the] last few days, [we have been] getting direct support from PM and other ministers."
