Turkey slams Israel for intercepting Gaza-bound aid boat

Turkey slammed Israel for intercepting a Gaza-bound boat carrying activists including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg early on Monday, describing it as a “heinous attack”.

“The intervention by Israeli forces on the ‘Madleen’ ship.. while sailing in international waters is a clear violation of international law,” it said, describing it as a “heinous attack” by the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
