Turkey to Join the Iran-Israeli War
A Turkish flotilla of 53 vessels, organized by the IHH, the same group behind the Mavi Marmara flotilla, is reportedly en route to Israel.
An Israeli official related that Netanyahu held a preliminary security consultation on the matter on Sunday.
The flotilla is an element of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which departed Turkey for Gaza on Thursday on its second blockade run, the first of which occured in April and ended with 20 of its vessels intercepted by the Israeli Navy.
The IHH's flotilla is expected to reach Israel’s shores within 48 hours. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to hold an operational meeting on the matter with senior defense officials.
