Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu (2nd R) shakes hands with an activist, wounded when Israel seized a Turkish aid ship bound for Gaza, in an ambulance plane at the Etimesgut military airport in Ankara early June 3, 2010. Israel began expelling all activists seized during a raid on an aid convoy sailing to Gaza that has drawn <b>international</b> outrage and officials on Wednesday vowed to prevent any other ships from reaching the coastal territory. Israel had said it would deport 682 activists from more than 35 countries taken into custody after the maritime assault in which nine activists were killed on a Turkish vessel.
