Israel, the only remaining fleet bound for Gaza

Elite troops from Israel's Shayetet 13 naval commando unit boarded the French yacht Dignite-Al Karame minutes after Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Benny Gantz issued the order to intercept. The commandos quickly took control of the vessel, with no resistance from those aboard.



n IDF official confirmed that the Israel Navy contacted the yacht, and warned it that it is nearing a blockaded area. Defense establishment sources stressed that they would not allow any kind of vessels to dock in the Gaza Strip, so any ship trying to break the blockade would be intercepted.
Following the rapid takeover, the vessel was directed to Ashdod port. There the passengers were to be taken into custody and dealt with by immigration authorities.
The IDF spokesperson stressed that the order to intercept the ship was issued only after the passengers repeatedly refused to answer the demands of the navy or to change course from Gaza. According to the IDF spokesperson, none of the passengers were hurt and IDF soldiers offered the passengers food and beverages once the boat had been intercepted.
Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement said the Dignite-Al Karame had previously declared Alexandria, Egypt, as its destination so it could slip out of Greece, and then changed its route to Gaza. This, she said, was a legal act.

cameron hacking heats up

 

The inquiry, led by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, will begin hearings under oath within the next few weeks and is due to report within 12 months, Cameron said in an emergency statement to the House of Commons.
Cameron said the inquiry's terms of reference would be extended to look not just into the cosy ties between Britain's media, politicians and the police exposed by the scandal, but also their individual conduct.
In addition, it will be extended to include all police forces where journalists may have paid for information, not just Scotland Yard, and will look at broadcasters and social media, not just newspapers.
Leveson's panel will include civil rights campaigner Shami Chakrabarti of the group Liberty; former West Midlands police chief constable Paul Scott-Lee; and David Currie, the former chairman of Ofcom, Britain's communications regulator.
It also includes three journalists: the former political editor of Channel 4 news, Elinor Goodman; the former political editor of the Daily Telegraph, George Jones; and former Financial Times chairman David Bell.
"These people have been chosen not only for their expertise in the media, broadcasting, regulation and policing, but for their complete independence from the interested parties," Cameron said.
The inquiry is divided into two parts, the first looking at the culture, practices and ethics of the press, and the second looking at News International, the group which owns the News of the World, where the scandal began.
The first part will begin with weeks, looking at contacts between national newspapers, politicians and the police, and at why nobody acted on warnings about the activities of the News of the World dating back years.
It will also look at the regulation of the press and how it failed to deal with phone hacking, and has been tasked to come up with a new regime to replace the system of self-regulation policed by the Press Complaints Commission.
The second part of the investigation, into Rupert Murdoch's News International, will begin only when the police probe into the scandal is complete.
Rebekah Brooks, a former editor of the News of the World, resigned as chief executive of News International last week and was arrested by police on Sunday over phone hacking and alleged bribery of police officers.
Brooks, Murdoch and his son James were also grilled by MPs on Tuesday about what they knew about hacking and illegal payments to police.
