(Worthy Insights) – The Israeli military is preparing to intercept a Gaza-bound ship carrying pro-Palestinian activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, before it can reach Israeli territorial waters. The vessel, named Madleen, is part of a mission organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and is currently sailing under a UK flag. The group departed from Sicily with humanitarian supplies and a stated goal of challenging Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
The flotilla includes 12 activists from several countries, including members with French, Swedish, German, and Brazilian citizenship, as well as European Parliament member Rima Hassan, who previously attempted to enter Israel but was deported. The participants claim their voyage aims to deliver humanitarian aid and protest what they describe as Israel’s “illegal, decades-long blockade” and “ongoing genocide” in Gaza. Onboard are baby formula, medical equipment, water filtration devices, and children’s prosthetics. [ Source (Read More…) ]
