| [Al Arabiya Latest] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charged Wednesday that the real motivation behind plans to send blockade-busting ships toward Gaza is to allow free flow of weapons into the Palestinian territory. Netanyahu spoke as preparations were under way to send several ships carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists toward Gaza, setting up potential confrontations at sea. Israel already has warned archenemy Iran to drop its plan to send a blockade-busting ship to Gaza. The Iranian ship is one of several that activists say will head for Gaza in the next few months. One is said to be heading for Gaza from Lebanon within days. On Wednesday, Lebanon warned that it would hold Israel responsible for any further attacks on blockade-busting ships. Netanyahu said his government is drawing up a list of weapons and items with military uses that will not be allowed into Gaza "so that we can permit all the rest." He said the new list will be made public "in the coming days." |

| #1 IIRC ISRAEL NN > IRAN: IAF LANDS ON SAUDI BASE + US WARNS LEBANON NOT TO SEND GAZA AID CONVOY. * DEBKA > MID WAR TENSIONS MOUNT OVER GAZA-BOUND "ENEMY SHIPS", HIZBALLAH PLEDGES REPRISAL. and * YNETNEWS > IRANIAN GAZA AID SHIP WON'T SAIL DUE TO "ISRAELI THREATS"[ Iran cancels all plans to send Gaza aid ships, at least for now. IMO also read, IRAN WANTS TO SEE WHAT LEBANON DOES = LEBANON SHIPS GET FIRED UPON BY ISRAELI NAVY??? |
