* Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said in a press conference on Monday (May 31) regarding the Turkish-led flotilla that:
"The armada of hate and violence in support of Hamas terror organization was a premeditated and outrageous provocation.
"The organizers are well known for their ties with global Jihad, al-Qaeda and Hamas. They have a history of arms smuggling and deadly terror.
"On board the ship we found weapons prepared in advance and used against our forces. The organizers intent was violent, their method was violent and the results were unfortunately violent. Israel regrets any loss of life and did everything to avoid this outcome."[1] <https://www.kintera.com/kintera_sphere/Email/New/EmailEditor.aspx#_edn1>
* Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak expressed regret for loss of live, but said that the flotilla was a provocation sponsored by extremists who support a terrorist organization.[2] <https://www.kintera.com/kintera_sphere/Email/New/EmailEditor.aspx#_edn2>
