Kadima MK Yoel Hasson on Sunday defended the conclusions released by the Turkel Commission who agreed that Israel's military actions in capturing the Mavi Marmara were in accordance with international law.
"There is no doubt that Israeli action was legal and legitimate, and it [Israel] acted as any other sovereign state would," Hasson said.
