6 June 2010 / THE ANATOLIA NEWS AGENCY, İSTANBUL
The United Nations has decided to set up a panel to investigate a deadly Israeli raid on an international convoy bound with humanitarian aid to Gaza that killed nine activists, Turkish sources cited UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as telling Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a telephone conversation on Saturday.
Ban said the five-member panel would be headed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer and include representatives from Turkey and Israel as well as two other members to be assigned by the UN secretary-general.
Ban told Erdoğan that the panel will review the incident and issue a final report within two months.
Sources cited Erdoğan as urging the UN chief to exert efforts to end the Israeli blockade on Gaza and humanitarian aid be delivered promptly under UN's supervision.
Erdoğan also called for "solid sanctions" on Israel for its aggression on the aid convoy.
