Netanyahu refuses to apologize to Turkey over flotilla massacre

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– “Israel won’t apologize to Turkey over the Gaza aid flotilla clashes and the possibility of giving compensation to those injured in the incident is not up for discussion,” Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday.

Netanyahu said during an interview with Israel’s Channel 1 that the Israeli soldiers were “forced to defend themselves”.
The Israeli soldiers used live ammunition against the unarmed Freedom Flotilla passengers killing nine of them and wounding dozens others.
Turkish premier Recep Erdogan and other senior Turkish officials were adamant on demanding an Israeli apology over what happened to be coupled with compensation for the victims and an international investigation into the incident that took place in international waters on May 31st.
Ankara summoned its ambassador from Tel Aviv following the massacre and called off three joint maneuvers with Israel in addition to canceling military arms deals worth billions of dollars.
