Hamas: U.N. Inquiry Into Israel Flotilla Raid 'Unjust'
|
[An Nahar] The Paleostinian Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, said Thursday that a U.N.-mandated inquiry into a deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla bound for Gazoo was "unjust" and lacked balance.
The inquiry into the Turkish-led aid flotilla said Israel's commando raid in 2010 was "excessive," according to extracts published by the New York Times

newspaper.
"The UN. report into the Israeli attack on the (Turkish ferry) Mavi Marmara is unjust and unbalanced. It will allow the (Israeli) occupier to shirk its responsibilities," Hamas front man Sami Abu Zuhri
...a senior front man for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gazoo. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest...
told Agence La Belle France Presse in Gazoo City.
Eight Turkish nationals and an American of Turkish descent died in the May 31, 2010 raid by Israeli special forces on the six vessels in international waters.
Senior Israeli officials said they would not react to the Palmer Report -- named after New Zealand's former premier Geoffrey Palmer, who headed the U.N. inquiry, until its official publication.

group said "the Palmer Report missed the opportunity to re-evaluate the entire policy of the Israeli blockade of the Gazoo Strip, which has still not been lifted."
The report backed Israel over its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gazoo. "We have made it clear that we consider that Israel was entitled to impose the naval blockade. It follows that Israel was also entitled to enforce it."
It added: "The manner of its enforcement, however, raises serious issues of concern."
