There is strong evidence pointing to Turkish governmental involvement in the Gaza flotilla incident, with Turkish government support channeled through the Turkish Muslim Brotherhood network. Since 2006, Turkey has become a new center for the Global Muslim Brotherhood. The IHH, which purchased the lead ship, the Mavi Marmara, was a member of the Union of Good charity network led by Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi, the spiritual head of the Muslim Brotherhood.This report presents the results of an investigation into the role played by the Global Muslim Brotherhood and its Turkish allies in the May 2010 Gaza flotilla which involved a violent altercation between passengers on one of the ships and Israeli naval forces.
