Turkey Plans Repatriation Flights for Flotilla Detainees Held by Israel
✈️ ANKARA — Turkey didn't just protest the flotilla seizure — it's flying people home. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Extraction flights reframe this as a hostage situation, not a diplomatic incident. Turkish nationals trigger consular obligation and domestic pressure on Erdogan at once. If Israel controls the release, Ankara cedes leverage; if Turkey sets Thursday as a deadline, it's calling Israel's hand. Rome summoned an ambassador — Ankara is landing planes.
