Israel, U.S. Agree on Gaza Flotilla Probe
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid and Amos Harel - Israel and the U.S. agreed Thursday on the nature of the Israeli investigative committee that will look into the takeover of the Gaza-bound flotilla. Channel 2 reported that the committee will be headed by a retired Israel Supreme Court justice. Members will include jurists specializing in international law as well as two observers - American and European. The committee will examine whether the blockade of Gaza is in accordance with international law, whether the takeover of the flotilla in international waters was legal, and whether the use of force by Israeli troops was legal.
