Al-Quds (Jerusalem), June 01, 2010, SPA -- Pro-Palestinian activists promised Tuesday to send two more boats to challenge Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip as international outrage mounted over a botched Israeli raid that left nine people dead, the Associated Press reported. Also Tuesday, the U.N. Security Council called for an impartial investigation of Israel's deadly raid, condemning the «acts» that resulted in the loss of life. After an emergency meeting and lengthy negotiations, the council agreed on a presidential statement that was weaker than that initially demanded by the Palestinians, Arab nations and Turkey. Israeli officials have not identified the nine dead or the estimated 34 who were wounded in the raid, but said they would release the names of the dead later Tuesday. They said 50 of the 679 activists aboard the flotilla have been taken to Israel's international airport for deportation. The others, they said, have refused to identify themselves and will remain in detention in a prison in southern Israel. The renewed challenge to the three-year-old blockade of Gaza comes at a time of increasing criticism within Israel of the raid, which set off a firestorm of condemnation across the globe. Israel has not allowed access to the activists who were taken off the six boats in the flotilla. The flotilla was the ninth attempt by sea to breach the blockade. Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement that organized the flotilla said Tuesday that another cargo boat was off the coast of Italy en route to Gaza. A second boat carrying about three dozen passengers is expected to join it, Berlin said. «This initiative is not going to stop,» Berlin said from the group's base in Cyprus. «We think eventually Israel will get some kind of common sense. They're going to have to stop the blockade of Gaza, and one of the ways to do this is for us to continue to send the boats.» --SPA 11:03 LOCAL TIME 08:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/787510
