THIS IS THE REAL REASON WHY TURKEY'S MILITARY BRASS ALL RESIGNED A FEW WEEKS AGO...

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said his country will in future escort aid ships travelling to the Gaza Strip.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Mr Erdogan also said Turkey had taken steps to prevent Israel unilaterally exploiting natural resources in the eastern Mediterranean.

He spoke amid a growing row over Israel's refusal to apologise for a deadly raid on an aid ship last year.

Turkey has already cut military ties and expelled Israel's ambassador.

It has also said it will challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

ERDOGAN WANTS TO PROVOKE ISRAEL INTO ATTACKING THEM SO THEY CAN INVOKE NATO ARTICLE 5 AND EITHER GET NATO TO COUNTER-ATTACK OR DESTROY NATO.

THE OLD BRASS RUNNING THE SECULARIST TURKISH MILITARY WAS AGAINST IT AN RESIGNED RATHER THAN GO THROUGH WITH ERDOGAN'S ISLAMIST PLAN.

RUSSIA AND CHINA ALSO BENEFIT. AS DOES IRAN.

AND OBAMA AND HILLARY DO NOTHING EFFECTIVE TO STOP IT.

OR STOP FATAH'S UNILATERAL MOVE AT THE UN.

EITHER THEY'RE INEPT, OR THEY ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
