Arab League Chief Amr Moussa condemned Israel on Thursday, saying Israel is the main reason for the black hole in the region.
Speaking at an economic forum between Turkey and Arab nations, he warned that all should be aware of Israel's continued atrocities and assaults which are in violation of human rights and international law.
He said that he appreciated Turkey's challenging Israel, and expressed condolences for the killing of nine people during an Israeli raid on a Turkish aid ship destined for Gaza last week, saying "they are our martyrs as well."
Israel says its commandos acted in self-defense after being attacked by the pro-Palestinian activists.
