"The majority of the flotilla participants had no violent intentions, but there exist serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organisers, particularly IHH," the Palmer report added, referring to the Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation. "The actions of the flotilla needlessly carried the potential for escalation."
„Većina učesnika flotile nije imala nasilne namere, ali postoje ozbiljna pitanja oko postupaka, stvarne prirode i ciljeva organizatora flotile, a posebno IHH“, dodaje se u Palmerovom izveštaju, a misli se na istanbulsku Fondaciju humanitarne pomoći. „Postupci flotile bespotrebno su nosili potencijal za eskalaciju.“
