MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS PRESS STATEMENT: LAUNCH OF THE PANEL OF INQUIRY ON THE FLOTILLA INCIDENT OF 31 MAY 2010
Singapore welcomes the decision of Israel and Turkey to participate in the United Nations Panel of Inquiry on the flotilla incident of 31 May 2010. This is a significant step towards ascertaining the exact circumstances of the incident in a transparent, balanced and credible manner.
We hope that this development will have a positive impact on the relationship between Turkey and Israel. Stable bilateral relations between Turkey and Israel are an important element in the overall stability and security of the Middle East.
Singapore commends Secretary-General Ban's leadership and tireless efforts in the successful establishment of this Panel.
