GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian premier Ismail Haneyya has charged that the Israeli formation of an investigation committee to probe the attack on the freedom Flotilla was "unacceptable", adding that the culprit should not be the judge.

The premier, speaking during a meeting with the visiting Bahraini delegation on Tuesday, said that Israel was trying to deceive the world public opinion and to circumvent the international demand for the establishment of an international independent committee under the UN supervision.

He said his government stands alongside Turkey in its rejection of the Israeli committee and in demanding an international probe into the massacre.

For his part, Mustafa Al-Sayyed the chairman of the Bahraini royal society said that the world was beginning to realize that it was about time to end the Gaza siege.

He said that big Bahraini aid convoys will soon arrive in the Gaza Strip, noting that the visiting delegation had provided money for the purchase of medicine badly needed in the Strip.
