Turkish warships will escort any Turkish aid vessels to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in remarks broadcast on Al Jazeera television on Thursday.
Erdogan also said that Turkey had taken steps to stop Israel from unilaterally exploiting natural resources from the eastern Mediterranean, according to Al Jazeera's Arabic translation of excerpts of the interview, which was conducted in Turkish. (Reuters)
Erdogan: Turk warships to escort any Gaza aid vessels - Israel News, Ynetnews
This certainly puts Israel into a nasty corner.
International law says a blockade can be bypassed if the cargo ships are escorted by naval vessels of a neutral country........who ensure no contraband is aboard.
Oh oh.
Turkey is NOT neutral in anything but name, and has been establishing close relations with the Islamo-loonies in Iran.........you know, the guys that pull the strings of Hamas and Hezbollah, and that supply the vast majority of their arms.
So....had the west any balls, we'd simply tell the Turks.... "Don't even THINK about it, or we'll throw you out of NATO so fast you won't have time to pack your bags".
But we don't. The usual Euro-weenies will be foaming at the mouth in anticipation of a new mass-murder of Jews, hoping this time the Arabs get'em all.....with Persian weapons delivered by the Turks.
Naw....Israel has no reason to be paranoid!!!!!
Israel could just drop the blockade..........and invade and re-occupy Gaza if things get hot. Despite how the useful idiots would scream and cry and go on, this is probably the most sensible option. Better war with Gaza than war with Turkey. Once again, the Palestinians would pay with much blood for the sick political games of the Jew-haters.
One could hope the Turkish people come to their senses and return to the sane policies of Attaturk, and reject the growing Islamist wave.....and throw out the bunch of idiots now running the place.
If not, they need to be kicked OUT of the western alliance.
Double oh oh.
