Prime Minister mulls over an apology with the Turks

          Prime Minister Netanyahu has received legal advice that apologizing to the Turks over last year's flotilla disaster when the navy took over a boat and nine Turkish activists were killed, would forestall Turkish bids to prosecute, in international courts, the marines, who clashed with activists. Defence Minister Ehud Barak has called for a compromise with Turkey "to put things behind us", citing the spiraling instability of a region where Israel lacks friends.. Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon said during a press briefing Thursday " we are not ready to apologise, as apology , is taking responsibility where on the boat, our soldiers were fighting to defend their lives. The Turkish stubborness cannot lead to an agreement. " Yaalon said Israel is willing to pay into a humanitarian fund for those bereaved or hurt on aboard the ship. (23,00)
