<div id="divLead">Turkey says Israel&#8217;s attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla could have led to a war between the two countries.</div>
<p>Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the May 2010 attack &#8212; which killed nine Turkish activists &#8212; was &#8216;a cause for war,&#8217; the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>He said the act of aggression was carried out in international waters and was &#8216;unlawful,&#8217; noting, however, that “we decided to act in line with Turkey&#8217;s grandeur and showed patience.”</p>
<p>The six-ship flotilla was carrying 10,000 tons of humanitarian assistance to the blockaded territory when the deadly incident occurred.</p>
<p>Israel has refused to apologize for the bloodshed, prompting Turkey to expel the Israeli ambassador from Ankara and cut all bilateral military ties.</p>
<p>Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has also said the country plans to take action at the International Court of Justice in The Hague to challenge TelAviv&#8217;s four-year siege of Gaza. The blockade has been preventing the flow of food, medicine, and other supplies into the impoverished coastal territory.</p>
