Israeli Report Criticises PM Netanyahu Over Gaza Flotilla -- BBC
Israel's state watchdog has criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the navy's interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla which left nine Turkish activists dead and commandos injured.
In a report, the State Comptroller identified "serious shortcomings" in the way decisions were taken by Mr Netanyahu before the May 2010 incident.
The activists were killed in clashes with commandos who boarded the lead flotilla vessel, Mavi Marmara.
The incident strained ties with Turkey.
Turkey has demanded Israel apologise for what it said was an unjustified use of violence, and expelled Israel's ambassador.
Israel says its commandos used live fire only after being attacked with clubs, knives and guns.
