Israel approved their own investigation into the incident. Here is something I found in the news in reference to a statement from the White House
------------------------
In Washington, the White House press secretary issued a statement hailing the Israeli announcement as an "important step forward." The statement added that "the structure and terms of reference of Israel’s proposed independent public commission can meet the standard of a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation," as sought by the United Nations Security Council.
"But," the White House cautioned, "we will not prejudge the process or its outcome and will await the conduct and findings of the investigation before drawing further conclusions."
------------------------
I doubt that the US would call most other countries self-investigation an "independent public commission". There will be an Irish and Canadian observer who will have no say into any judgements made and will most likely be fed a filtered and likely altered version of "evidence".
I just can't get over how they could call it an independent public commission. Who do they think they are fooling by that statement?
I quoted this statement from Israel foreign minister before:
-----------------------
"We didn't start this provocation, we did not send bullies with knives and metal rods to Turkey," he said. "The entire blame, all of it, from beginning to end, is that of Turkey. We have nothing to apologize for. On the contrary."
-----------------------
So if they are so sure that they are not at all to blame and have nothing to apologize for even before their independent self-investigation, how is it possible that their investigation will come to any other conclusion.
