The Flotilla heading to Gaza warns of the approach of several ships after entering a “risk zone”

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) stated this Wednesday that “several unidentified ships” have approached several mission vessels and have already moved away, while continuing their approach to the Gaza Strip, isolated by the naval blockade imposed by Israel, after having entered the “risk zone” where previous missions were intercepted.

“Several unidentified ships have approached some vessels in the flotilla, some of which had their lights off,” he warned through his Telegram channel. “The participants activated security protocols in anticipation of a possible interception,” he added, pointing out that “the ships have already moved away from the flotilla.”

After that, the mission has reported that it continues its maritime advance towards the Strip, placing itself at a distance of 120 nautical miles and "close to the area where the interceptions and/or attacks on previous flotillas took place", which, like this one, tried to break the naval blockade.

In turn, the organization has criticized that the Italian Government has informed them that its deployed frigate "will soon issue a radio call offering the participants the 'opportunity' to abandon navigation and return to the coast", which the flotilla has presented as "an attempt to demoralize and fracture a peaceful humanitarian mission."

A FRENCH MEP ON BOARD CRITICIZES THE PLAN TRUMP FOR GAZA

For her part, Emma Fourreau, also an MEP from Insoumise France, has published on the same platform a selfie on board one of the boats in the flotilla with the message "stronger, more numerous", given the greater number of boats involved in this mission compared to the previous two, starring exclusively the 'Handala' and the 'Madleen', where, precisely, the Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila was sailing, present in Fourreau's image after having joined this new mission.

"We will break the blockade. We will fight alongside the Palestinian people until the genocide ends and justice is done," promised the European Union parliamentarian, who just a few hours earlier criticized through the same medium the plan of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to end the war in Gaza.

The MEP has criticized that "here things are done in a completely reverse way", urging the lifting of the blockade, the entry of humanitarian aid and the "withdrawal of the Israeli Army" from the Strip.

There is not a word about the genocides, not a word about Israeli expansionism and colonization, not a word about the abuses of the settlers in the West Bank, not a word about the real political problem of this matter," criticized Fourreau, who concluded that, consequently, "there cannot be peace and justice for the Palestinian people nor coexistence between the two peoples until these issues are addressed and repaired.
