Could the Obama-backed al-Qaeda government have anything to do with this? “Israel won’t apologize for Turkish flotilla deaths,” by Amy Teibel for the Associated Press, July 21 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
JERUSALEM (AP) “” Israel will not apologize for killing nine Turkish activists aboard a Gaza-bound flotilla last year, an Israeli Cabinet minister said Thursday, but he added that not all in government agree with this stance.
Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon told foreign reporters at a briefing Thursday that he recently held three rounds of talks with the Turks in an effort to put more than a year of animosity behind the one-time close allies.
“We are not ready to apologize,” he said. “Apology is taking responsibility.” […]
While the sea blockade remains enforced, the Israeli official said weapons from Libya are making their way into Gaza through Egypt’s Sinai desert.
“There is now a new route of weapons smuggled from Libya,” he said, adding that smugglers are taking advantage of the chaos prompted by that country’s civil war.
He stopped short of providing details about the types or quantities of weapons Israel claims are moving into Gaza from Libya.
