Tensions between Turkey and Israel are rising to a dramatic new level, as 20 ships and boats are currently organizing in Turkey to launch a new flotilla after Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla last week.
For the first time, there is a genuine fear that a military clash could develop between the two forces.
Diplomatic officials are working behind the scenes to defuse tensions, and IDF officials stated that Israel is currently utilizing diplomatic channels with Turkey to try to prevent the flotilla from setting sail.
