You're reading: Israel says no plan to apologise to Turkey

RIGA, July 5 (Reuters) - Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Monday his country has no intention of meeting Turkey's demand for an apology over a deadly Israeli raid on a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza.

Turkey’s Hurriyet newspaper earlier quoted Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as saying that Israel has three paths. "It either apologises, or accepts the findings from an international commission investigating the raid, or Turkey will cut off ties," the daily quoted Davutoglu as saying.

But Lieberman rejected this possibility.
"We don’t have any intention to apologise. We think that the opposite is true," he told reporters after meeting Latvia’s foreign minister during a visit to the Baltic state.
