No plans "for now " for Gaza convoy-Turk charity

[Fozzledick]

(Reuters) - The Turkish charity behind last year's sea convoy to Gaza in which nine activists were killed during an Israeli raid said on Friday it had no plans for now for another flotilla, a day after Turkey warned its warships would escort future missions.

Raising the stakes in Ankara's row with Israel over its refusal to apologize, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday Turkish vessels would escort aid ships to Gaza and would not allow a repetition of last year's raid.

His remarks opened the possibility of a naval confrontation with Turkey's former ally, which maintains a blockade of Gaza. The territory is ruled by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and has been a source of frequent rocket fire into Israel.

The Jewish state has said it will continue to enforce the blockade, which a United Nations inquiry deemed a legitimate security measure to prevent weapons-smuggling.

Looks like Erdogan's threats of a naval assault are just bluster to try to distract attention from the embarrassing U.N. report.
