         <description><![CDATA[



Commentators have alleged that Israel’s interception of the Free Gaza flotilla on 31 May 2010 was illegal.
&nbsp;
For example Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law, is reported to have said: "The Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla violated the 1988 SUA Convention [Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation], to which Israel, Turkey, Ireland and the USA are all parties. &#160;This convention...]]></description>
