Israel’s broadcasting authority has reported that the country’s security establishment has decided not to allow the Freedom Flotilla ship, Madleen, to approach or dock off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
The decision comes in line with the longstanding naval blockade imposed on the territory for nearly two decades.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, French physician Baptiste André, one of the activists on board, said the Israeli decision was not surprising. We expected this for some time, but it will not stop us from continuing our journey to Gaza to break the unjust blockade.
André stressed that the ship poses no security threat to Israel. The flotilla’s message is purely humanitarian, and it highlights that the blockade imposed on more than two million Palestinians in Gaza cannot continue.
He added that the organizers receive daily messages of support from around the world and that they are relying on international backing to sustain this solidarity initiative.
André also warned that Israel might resort to violent methods to stop the ship and detain those on board. We are ready for all scenarios, but we are determined to bring Gaza’s voice to the world.
The Madleen, a vessel from the international Freedom Flotilla Coalition, departed on Sunday from the port of Catania on the Italian island of Sicily.
It is carrying humanitarian aid intended for the Gaza Strip, aiming to challenge and break the ongoing blockade imposed on the enclave.

Israel is the home of hostile parasites!
These parasites have already stolen most of Palestine, and destroyed almost ALL of Gaza! These parasites need to be removed and re-settled back into Europe and the America’s;
I know it won’t be a popular move, because who would want these racist, supremacist genocidal psychopaths living next door….it’s a death sentence to their neighbors…
MAKE Israel PALESTINE AGAIN!
Parasite = an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species – its host – and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other’s expense.
You seem to pretend like you do not know that the Ashkenazim are completely alien people to the Middle East but not to Europe.
The Ashkenazim In Palestine live there as parasites on the land of the Palestinians unless you want to say to me the Ashkenazim is a Hebrew which is completely ridiculous because the Ashkenazim are 100% European according to their own DNA and DNA is never wrong.
What I find disturbing is that the European Jews who never stop reminding the world about what happened to their people during World War II are committing a holocaust against the Palestinians while the entire world is watching! If they want to tell us that they became extremely hated in Europe for no reason at all – will they also tell us today that the entire world is turning against them for no reason at all?
Not having showered for 70 years is better than showering in a home you stole from a Palestinian 70 years ago. I take un-groomed over an armed robber any day of the week thank you.
