Turks Were Responsible for Creating Rift with Israel
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - It was the Turks who were responsible for creating the crisis in relations with Israel. It was they who dispatched that flotilla to Gaza in 2010, knowing full well that the vessels would not reach their destination, and that Gaza was getting aid supplies in any case from Israel. It was the Turks who prolonged the crisis for years, despite Netanyahu's apology during the March 2013 visit by President Obama to Israel. The Turks have already announced that they will be dispatching an aid ship to Ashdod port this week overflowing with humanitarian aid. But this is media spin. Aid ships anchor almost every day at Ashdod full of goods intended for Gaza.
