May be not. The UN's conclusion on the legality of the naval blockade is quite damning for the Palestinians.
First: It mean Israel was within her rights to respond the way she did.
Second: It also mean Egypt's land blockade was also legal and the fact that Israel and Egypt had a peace treaty, it mean that Egypt's land blockade was in support of Israel's goal of disarming Gaza.
For Turkey, the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador is an attempt at face saving but ultimately is a bad diplomatic move. If Israel's naval blockade and Egypt's land blockade of Gaza were legal, then Turkey had no business trying to breach the naval one. But since Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador, then Turkey is tacitly saying the Turkish government sanctioned the blockade running, putting Turkey at odds with Israel. But if Turkey later come out and contest this charge, then Turkey will be seen as being impetuous with that expulsion.
The report is not about the blockade of Gaza, it is about the legality of the israeli brutality on Mavi Marmara. The report has clearly stated that israel has not explained the killing of the nine Turkish aid workers with multiple gunshots and some in their back indicating they were shot from behind. The report was definitely sent to Washington for necessary changes and needed approval before being 'leaked'. This pocket organization of the world's default evil empire deserves the fate of the League of Nations.
