Turkey Threatens to Ban Israeli Commercial Flights
(Today's Zaman-Turkey) Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu warned Israeli Industry Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer at a secret meeting in Brussels on Wednesday that Ankara's indignation over Israel will lead to further retaliatory measures in all fields if Israel refuses to offer a formal apology and to compensate families of eight Turks killed in the May 31 flotilla incident. Turkey, which has already closed its airspace to some Israeli military flights, said it would expand this ban to commercial flights as well.
