 Head of the Turkish humanitarian relief foundation IHH Bulent Yildirim hailed the report issued by the UN human rights council's probe committee on Gaza siege and the Israeli attack on Freedom Flotilla aid convoy, stressing that the report unveiled Israel's true face.

Yildirim said in a news conference held in Istanbul with head of Mazloum Dar for human rights Jihad Gokdemir that the report confirmed that the Flotilla massacre was brutal and the blockade on Gaza is unjustified.

For his part, Gokdemir highlighted legal details in the report, affirming that Israel is trying to raise doubts about and question the integrity of the UN probe committee after it prepared its report.

He said that Turkey will sue Israel in the international criminal court on October 14 on behalf of those who were assaulted and killed during the Israeli military attack on Freedom Flotilla, adding that there will be another lawsuit later against Israel with the international court of justice.

The Turkish activist pointed out that the report also emphasized that the Israeli blockade on Gaza is illegal and Israel has no right to prevent humanitarian aid ships from reaching Gaza, affirming that his top priority is to have Gaza siege lifted.

The activist also noted that the report stated clearly that Israel deliberately kills, tortures, and maltreats civilians and limits freedoms in general.

Different media outlets including the Palestinian information center (PIC) and some families of Flotilla victims attended the conference.
