A flotilla of ships heading towards the Gaza Strip is preparing for a potential interception by Israeli forces, according to activists on board.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid, is currently around 200 miles from Gaza, near a zone where previous flotillas have been intercepted.
Two of the flotilla’s vessels, Jeannot III and Estrella, are continuing their journey and are expected to arrive in three days. Activists, however, say Israeli intervention could occur within hours.
Yassine Lafram, president of the Union of Islamic Communities of Italy (UCOII), speaking from the Karma vessel, said, “We are in the middle of international waters between Greece and Türkiye. Most likely, tonight or tomorrow, we will be intercepted by the Israeli army.”
Lafram described any interception as a violation of international law and reiterated the flotilla’s commitment to delivering humanitarian assistance and challenging the blockade of Gaza.
Italian activist Tony La Piccirella said the flotilla would soon enter the designated interception zone. He also criticised recent peace proposals, describing them as “a proposal for total surrender and the sale of Palestinian territory.”
The flotilla comprises around 50 ships carrying more than 500 activists. Its stated goal is to provide humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, to Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade.
