It's Only Fair: Israel Sends "Flotilla" To Turkey

Turkey should be forewarned, though, that when they board the ship--they will likely meet some resistance:

Israel is sending a ship to Turkey on Monday with a large and noisy cargo on board. This shipment is part of a decades-long struggle, but one against nature: it aims to calm ties between the two countries while simultaneously saving Asian pachyderms from extinction.


The cargo consists of three elephants, zebras, a hippo and a handful of lemurs, courtesy of the Tisch Family Zoological Gardens in Jerusalem – commonly known as the Biblical Zoo – and the Ramat Gan Safari.

The destination: the Gaziantep Zoo in southeastern Anatolia, which is Turkey’s largest zoo.

Supposedly, this has nothing to do with politics and is being done purely out of humanitarian (zoolitarian?) concerns.

Still, I suppose this could be part of a Mossad reconnaissance mission.
And Gaziantep is located near the Syrian border...
