Israel ready for Gaza flotilla scenarios: Minister
JERUSALEM - An Israeli Cabinet minister says Israel is "prepared for the worst" in trying to block a flotilla of pro-Palestinian activists planning to breach Israel's sea blockade of Gaza.
Information Minister Yuli Edelstein urged organizers Wednesday to call off the voyage and deliver their cargo of medicine and construction materials to Gaza via an Israeli port.
The ships are to sail to Gaza from Greece toward the end of the week, and Israel has said it will sink them not let them reach Gaza.
