Gaza Flotilla

The Israeli government has confirmed that all passengers aboard the Gaza flotilla have been sent back to their countries.

Dozens of international journalists and media workers being held in an Israeli jail were expected to be released.

A special meeting of the Israeli Security Cabinet in Jerusalem disclosed on Tuesday that 40 people with the Gaza flotilla are members of al-Qaeda.

Following an outcry, the Israeli government said on Tuesday that it will release all detained flotilla passengers.

Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip has been challenged in the same way, and a couple of times, ships even got through.

Israeli authorities have confirmed that nine people from the Gaza flotilla were killed aboard the largest ship.

Following the capture of Gaza flotilla ships by Israeli forces, Turkey withdrew its ambassador for world leaders to meet.
