Israelske flådeofficerer af reserven kræver en uvildig analyse af angrebet på Mavi Marmara. Det fremgår af et skarpt brev, officererne har sendt til premierminister Benyamin Netanyahu:
"We believe the operation ended in a military and political disaster," the letter noted. The officers said they disagreed with claims of an intelligence or a PR failure as they believe the whole operation was doomed from the beginning."
