'Mavi Marmara victim to donate money to Hamas'
Official says flotilla passenger's promise to give compensation money to terror group shows true nature of those on ship.
The declaration by a “victim” of the Mavi Marmara that he will donate Israeli compensation money to Hamas and Islamic Jihad just shows the world what type of people were on the ship, a government official said Wednesday.
The official was responding to a report in the Hurriyet Daily News that one of the “victims” of the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara, “activist” Mehmet Tunc, said he would not touch even “one Turkish Lira” of the money and instead donate it to the two terror organizations.
“This just shows to all those who thought the people on the ship were peace and human rights activists that they were hard-core Islamists supportive of Hamas and Islamic Jihad,” he said.
Another government official said that according to the framework of the compensation agreement that was discussed over the last two years with the Turks, Israeli compensation payments will not be paid directly to the families of the nine Turks killed on the ship that tried to break the blockade of Gaza, but rather to a fund set up by the Turkish government.
