UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Friday that the Palmer report on the Marmara incident will be postponed for the third time and will be published at the beginning of next month, according to Army Radio.

Ban said that that the reason for the postponement was to give Israel and Turkey more time to reach an agreement.

The Palmer Commission report, which has already been written, is widely believed to uphold the legality of Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, and its right to intercept vessels trying to break the blockade.
