No Israel charge over Gaza ship raid, says ICC | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor says she will not take action over Israel's deadly commando raid on a Gaza-bound ship in 2010. | |
Fatou Bensouda said this was despite a "reasonable basis to believe that war crimes... were committed". | |
But she said the ICC had to prioritise war crimes committed on a large scale. | |
Nine Turkish activists were killed on the ship as it attempted to breach a blockade of the Palestinian territory. | |
In total there were six ships in the flotilla that was boarded in international waters, about 130km (80 miles) from the Israeli coast on 31 May 2010. | |
Commandos landed on the largest ship, the Turkish-owned Mavi Marmara, by descending on ropes from helicopters. | |
Clashes broke out immediately and the Israeli commandos opened fire. |
