(CNN) British Prime Minister David Cameron called Gaza a "prison camp" on Tuesday in the Turkish capital of Ankara, which he was visiting to forge a new relationship with Turkey. Cameron also called the May 31 Israeli commando raid against the Gaza flotilla "completely unacceptable." Ron Prosor, Israel's ambassador to Britain, responded: "The people of Gaza are the prisoners of the terrorist organization Hamas. The situation in Gaza is the direct result of Hamas' rule and priorities." "We know that the prime minister would also share our grave concerns about our own prisoner in the Gaza Strip, Gilad Shalit, who has been held hostage there for over four years, without receiving a single Red Cross visit," Prosor said.
