(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Monday that Israel would participate in the UN panel to investigate the Gaza flotilla incident. The panel will receive reports on the Israeli investigation by the Independent Public Commission to Examine the Maritime Incident of 31 May 2010 chaired by retired Supreme Court Justice Jacob Turkel. Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "Israel has nothing to hide. The opposite is true. It is in the national interest of the State of Israel to ensure that the factual truth of the overall flotilla events comes to light throughout the world and this is exactly the principle that we are advancing."
