After the "Israeli" enemy refused to apologize to Turkey over the flotilla attack, under the pretext that they wanted the release of the UN report of the raid, Turkey decided to launch a diplomatic and legal assault against Israel.

"As long as "Israel" does not apologize, pay compensation and remove the embargo over Gaza, it is impossible to heal relations between Turkey and "Israel"", Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyeb Erdogan told reporters on Wednesday.
"It is out of the question to step back from our determination on this issue", Erdogan reaffirmed.

According to sources in the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Turkey intends on implementing "Plan B", which includes an anti-"Israeli" campaign to be launched in UN institutions, especially the International Court of Justice.
Furthermore, the Turkish government plans on encouraging families of the flotilla victims to file lawsuits against "Israeli" officials in European Courts, Haaretz "Israeli" daily reported.

In its "Plan B", Turkey may also reduce the level of ties with "Israel" after they have already reached their bottom. For example, for over a year now, there haven't been a Turkish Ambassador to the "Israeli" entity, and the deputy chief of mission will be leaving in a few weeks, with no apparent intention to be replaced.
Turkey has been demanding an official apology and compensations from "Israel" over the latter's deadly assault on the Gaza-bound Mavi-Marmara, which led to the death of nine Turkish activists.

On its part, the Zionist entity had repeatedly refused to present an apology, claiming it wasn't guilty, despite the fact that the assault took place in international waters.
