Gaza Aid Flotilla challenges Israel while Italy asks for commitment

The organizers of the International Humanitarian Aid Flotilla have declared on Friday that they will continue to break an Israeli naval embargo in Gaza, despite the Italian appeals to accept a proposal for commitment and no longer risks.

The Global Sumud Flotilha, made up of about 50 civil boats, was hit by drones by drones who transported splendid grenades and itching powder in international waters 56 km from the Greek island.

Nobody was injured, but the ships suffered some damage. The GSF accused Israel, who did not respond to the accusation, but said he would use all the means to block access to the Gaza boat.

Italian President Sergio Mattarella asked Flotilha organizers to accept a proposal to leave the supplies of aid of Cyprus and to surrender them to the Latin patriarchy of Jerusalem of the Catholic Church for distribution in Gaza.

“The value of human life, which seems to have lost all the meaning in Gaza, where it is seriously trampled … requires that we avoid endangering the safety of anyone,” he said in a note.

Israel said she supported the idea, but the flotilla rejected it.

Flotilha is transporting people from dozens of countries, including lawyers, parliamentarians and activists, such as the Swedish climatic activist Greta Thunberg.

His passage through the Mediterranean has increased international tensions, especially after Italy and Spain have reacted to the attacks of drones by sending navy ships ready for humanitarian and rescue operations.

“We are not just offering humanitarian aid. We are trying to convey hope and solidarity to send a strong message that the world is with Palestine,” Thunberg said from a boat on the Greek island of Crete on Thursday.

Greece said that she would guarantee the safe navigation of the flotilla off the coast of Greece, but Friday’s match will bring the fleet to international waters. The organizers said the boats intend to get to the beginning of next week.
