Ban Ki-Moon demands Israel reconsider rejected probe
15:11, 9 June 2010
WASHINGTON. June 9. KAZINFORM The UN Secretary General has insisted other nations should oversee an investigation into Israel's deadly boarding of a Turkish ship; Kazinform refers to BBC News.
Ban Ki-Moon restated the demands days after Israel rejected a similar suggestion that the probe be carried out by an international tribunal.
Israel is insisting it should carry out the investigation itself.
Nine people died when Israel prevented a flotilla of ships docking in the Gaza Strip on 31 May.
Israel has outlined the focus of the probes it will conduct.
They will look exclusively into the legality of Israel's naval blockade of Gaza and the raid on the aid flotilla, Israeli minister without portfolio Benny Begin told public radio on Tuesday; Kazinform cites BBC News.
