Turkey has expelled the Israeli ambassador over Israel's refusal to apologise for last-year's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.

Turkey has insisted that Israel apologise for the raid but it has consistently refused to do so.

Dear President Abullah Gul,
We apologize for our sloppy job on the Mavi Marmara. Next time when Turkey sends a terror flotilla we will not greet them using commandos. Instead we will send a single Harpoon missile.
Thank you

I trust that the Israeli UAVs that Turkey uses will now suddenly stop working.
