The Hague, November 8 (RHC)-- The International Criminal Court has declined to take action over Israel’s deadly 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, which killed 10 Turkish activists.

Chief ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said no action would be taken, even though war crimes had likely been committed when Israeli commandos stormed the aid ship Mavi Marmara.

Bensouda told reporters: "I have determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes, under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, were committed on one of the vessels, the Mavi Marmara, when Israeli Defense Forces intercepted the flotilla on 31st of May, 2010. However, after carefully assessing all relevant considerations, I concluded that the potential case or cases likely arising from an investigation into this incident would not be of sufficient gravity to justify further action by the court."
