Ban Ki-moon Has High Hopes for Israeli Flotilla Raid Panel
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement today praising a new panel formed to investigate the May 31 raid on an Gaza-bound aid flotilla by Israeli forces. The flotilla originated in Turkey, and the raid heightened diplomatic tensions between Turkey and Israel. Ban Ki-moon says that he hopes the panel’s findings will strengthen relations between the two countries.
