Turkey mulls severing ties with Israel

Posted By on August 24, 2011



Ankara informed the United States it may cut political and economic ties with Israel over Jerusalem's refusal to apologize for the deaths of nine Turkish nationals on board the Mavi Marmara last year. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also considering visiting the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon informed Israel that he was postponing -- yet again -- the publication of the Palmer Commission report on the Mavi Marmara incident last year, to give both sides additional time to reach an agreement that would obviate the need to release the report.
