Israel planning to call on Israelis staying in Turkey to return to homeland
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman called emergency consultation to discuss further plans to call on Israelis staying in Turkey to return to Israel, and on Israelis planning to travel to Turkey to cancel their trip, YnetNews reports.
According to CNNTurk, Turkish police blocked dozens of protesters who tried to storm the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul over Israeli attack on the relief ship heading on an aid mission to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Israel stormed a Turkish vessel of “Freedom Flotilla” carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists. According to WitnessGAZA.com, they fired unarmed passengers. However, according to Israeli media, militaries started firing after the fleet of the Turkish vessel attacked them with piercing tools. 19 were killed in the clash.
