No turkey either

Remember how I quipped that the Lebanese ship Julia, now known as Mariam, which is supposed to carry women to Gaza, but cannot sail directly from Lebanon and has been turned away by Cyprus would have to try going to Turkey. Well, they did. And the Turks said no As did (less surprisingly) the Greeks.
The Lebanese flotilla to Gaza is once again encountering difficulties. Turkey, Greece and Cyprus are refusing to allow the MV Mariam to dock on their territory on its way to Gaza. Turkey has also refused the ship's request to sail with a Turkish flag flying aboard it.

The report comes as the US is putting pressure on Turkey to change its attitude toward Israel.
Italy anyone? Heh.

Maybe they can ask Egypt to let them dock in El Arish after they sail half way across the Mediteranean and south to Egypt.

Heh
