Israel has said it will not accept a UN plan for a multinational investigation into the lethal commando raid on an aid flotilla.

Former New Zealand prime minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer has been suggested to lead an inquiry into the raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla a week ago.

Six days after Israel's bloody assault on an aid flotilla that left nine foreign protesters dead, nobody can recount precisely what happened.

Israeli forces seized a Gaza-bound aid vessel peacefully and without meeting resistance on Saturday.

NZ activist Nicola Enchmarch says she saw a man shot in the head by Israeli forces after they stormed her Gaza-bound aid ship.

The NZ woman detained in Israel after a raid on an aid flotilla headed for Gaza has been released overnight.

The mother of a New Zealand woman held by Israel was last night anxiously waiting news of her daughter.

Several activists were killed when Israeli marines raided a Turkish ship near Gaza. Others were captured, including NZ's Nicola Enchmarch.

A NZ woman held by Israeli authorities after being taken from a flotilla attacked by Israeli forces is named.

A New Zealander was on board the aid flotilla attacked by Israeli commandos in international waters.
