Al Jazeera - IDF Boarding Gaza Aid Flotilla
TEL AVIV. Israel's ambassador to the US has compared the deadly raid on the Gaza aid flotilla with America's battles against the Germans in World War Two.
In an interview with Sky's American sister station Fox News, Michael Oren described the operation, in which at least nine people died, as "perfectly legal, perfectly humane - and very responsible".
"Israel has to make some hard choices sometimes," he stressed, "We live in a rough neighbourhood."
When questioned about the global condemnation of the violence and accusations of "state-sponsored piracy on the open seas", he denied there had been any breach of international law in raiding the ships.
"Israel acted in accord with international law," he said.
"Any state has the right to protect itself, certainly from a terrorist threat such as Hamas, including on the open seas.
