Israel wants to prevent activist boat in the Gaza Strip-DiePresse.com
The « Freedom Flotilla » with Greta Thunberg should not be allowed to get through. The last time the climate activist wanted to travel to Gaza, the ship was damaged on the way.
The Israeli Minister of Defense has instructed the army to prevent the arrival of a sailing ship with human rights activists on board in the Gaza Strip. The ship « Madleen », on which the Swede Greta Thunberg is on the road, should not reach the Gaza Strip, Israel Katz explained on Sunday.
« To Greta, the anti -Semitin, and her companions, mouthpiece of the Hamas-Propaganda, I clearly say: turns over because you will never arrive in the Gaza Strip, ”said Katz, according to a message from his office.
From Sicily towards Gaza Strip
The sailing ship of the so-called « Freedom Flotilla » broke out from Sicily in the direction of Gaza Strip last Sunday, according to the French Palestinian EU-MP Rima Hassan to criticize the Israeli blockade for aid deliveries and the ongoing « genocide » in the Gaza Strip.
The MP of the French left-wing party LFI is controversial in France because of their statements about the war in the Palestinian area. In February, she was denied entry to Israel as part of an EU parliamentary trip.
Climate activist Thunberg wanted to travel to the Gaza strips with a ship of the « Freedom Flotilla » at the beginning of May. However, the ship had been damaged on the way. Activists suspected that Israel had attacked the ship with a drone. Thunberg had repeatedly participated in pro-Palestinian protests. (APA/AFP)
