JERUSALEM: Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla has put huge pressure on the Jewish state to lift its blockade of the Hamas-ruled enclave.
The bungled operation on an aid flotilla bound for Palestinians in Gaza brought an international chorus of outrage and intensified calls for Israel to end its vice-like siege.
Even Israel's staunchest ally, the US, has declared the blockade "unsustainable and unacceptable," while aid groups say it is causing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
British Prime Minister David Cameron took a tough stand against Monday's raid, terming it "completely unacceptable".
In his first public comments on the situation, Cameron said he had also spoken to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan "to extend our condolences for the Turkish citizens who have been lost". "What has happened is completely unacceptable, we should be clear about that and we should also deplore the loss of life," Cameron told lawmakers.
