The Israeli attack on the aid flotilla has drawn condemnation around the world [Reuters]
Nearly two dozen nations have condemned Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla at the conclusion of a regional summit in Istanbul.

Abdullah Gul, the Turkish president, released a statement agreed to by 21 of the 22 participants in the conference.

Israel was the 22nd participant, and it refused to sign the document.

The summit was a meeting of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia, a bloc of 22 Eurasian states founded in the early 1990s. Delegates mostly discussed security issues, particularly Israel and Afghanistan."
