Bombed the activist boat may not go to port in Malta
Conscience would pick up activists gathered in Malta and then sail on to Gaza with emergency assistance, and try to break Israel’s blockade. Late on Thursday evening, according to the organizer Freedom Flotilla, it will have been attacked on international water of Israeli drones, who knocked out the generators in the bow and made the boat unusable.
Israel has not commented on the charges, but According to expert Anders Persson Is it likely that the country is behind.
Now there are still 12 activists And four crewmen left on board, but according to Freedom Flotilla, it has become a deadlock where the boat is not allowed to go to port in Malta, or receive more activists.
Swedish Jeannette Escanilla, who is in place, says that they made it out to Conscience on small boats during Friday, but was hindered by the Coast Guard or the Navy from getting close.
– We could only wave to our comrades. It is alarming and serious that they are not allowed to come to Malta, there is a great risk that they will be attacked again, she tells DN on Saturday morning.
According to Escanilla, the boat also takes in water.
– The most important thing right now is getting it to Malta and a safe place, so people can leave it.
What will happen now is unclearbut conscience can no longer be used in the planned action.
– For my part, I will go home and continue to work from home and see what I can do. The next step for us in Sweden is to try to raise as much money as possible and buy a new boat that can go from Sweden towards Gaza.
Israel has not taken on the deedbut according to media data, it has been considered from the authority’s team that the boat is Hamas-Knuten.
– The fact that they are stamping us as terrorists is not something new, and that they connect to Hamas is not. It is a way for them to get support for what they do and to continue with the genocide, says Jeannette Escanilla.
According to her, there are no connections between the activists and the terror movement Hamas.
