"Israeli Army commander and top Likud member Uzi Dayan today warned on Israeli Army Radio that Israel would consider any attempt by the Turkish military to protect future aid ships from attack [by Israel] an 'act of war.' Dayan then added that if Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan attempted to accompany the aid ships personally, as he has reportedly considered, 'we would not try to take over the ship he was on, but would sink it.' He added that Erdogan's presence on a future aid ship would also be a casus belli for an Israeli war against Turkey."

To openly threaten murder against the head of a foreign nation is, by definition, an act of international terrorism subject to the appropriate sanctions. The war-mongers of the Jewish State should also remember that Turkey is a member of NATO. If attacked, every other NATO nation, including the U.S. and the E.U., would be obliged to enter the conflict. According to the NATO treaty:

"Article 5: The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them...shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them...will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force."
