The UN Security Council has issued a statement calling for an impartial inquiry into Israel's raid on a flotilla of Gaza-bound aid ships.
The statement said the investigation should be "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent".
It also condemned the "acts" which led to the deaths of at least 10 civilian activists during the operation, the BBC reported.
The raid sparked strong international condemnation and calls for Israel to lift its three-year blockade of Gaza.
The UN statement was reached after hours of discussion as the council deliberated through the night.
Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov said in a TV interview Tuesday that his Ministry is doing everything possible to ensure the safe return home of Svetoslav Ivanov, a reporter, and Valentin Vassilev, a cameraman, who work for the country's biggest private national TV channel bTV.
