European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis told German
newspaper Die Welt that the question Greeks are due to vote on in a
referendum planned for Sunday was neither factually nor legally
correct.
Israel's navy boarded and took over an activist vessel “Freedom Flotilla III” seeking to break its Gaza blockade and was escorting it to port on Monday in an operation that did not use force, the Israeli military said.
The Third Gaza Freedom Flotilla has left Greece's Crete Island and is expected to come close to the shores of Gaza within four days, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said in an official statement Saturday.
Israel's Foreign Ministry director-general Dori Gold Monday sent a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon warning of the potential conflict that may arise from the incoming flotilla expected to attempt to break the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip next week.
