Greta Thunberg, a renowned activist and her team are on board Madleen, a ship on the way to Gaza with help and help. However, their journey does not have to see realization, because the Israeli government has committed itself not to let the vessel enter the war region.
According to the recent announcement of the Minister of Defense Israel Katz Israel at all costs does not use its naval blocking of the Palestinian region. This blockade was in the first place strategated to allegedly prevent Hamas from importing weapons and ammunition.
Israel promises to block “anti -Semitic” Greta in Gaza achievement
“To the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow citizens Hamas propagandists- I will say clearly: you should go back because you will not get to Gaza,” Katz said in his statement.
Madleen, a ship carrying Thunberg and 11 other activists, has left Sicily last Sunday to break the Gaza naval blockade and provide humanitarian aid there. According to the AP report, they also plan to raise awareness of the ongoing humanitarian crisis due to the war of Israeli Hamas.
“Activists said they were planning to achieve territorial waters in Gaz on Sunday. Thiago, a Brazilian activist on board the ship, published a video about social media on Sunday afternoon that someone seemed to follow their tracking and communication equipment about 160 naval miles from Gaza.”
“Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament, who is Palestinian origin, is among others on board. The report was forbidden to enter Israel because of its opposition to Israeli politicians towards the Palestinians,” he continues.
There have been previous attempts to provide humanitarian aid by sea, but failed due to the naval blockade of Israel. Activists are now warning of famine unless the sea block is abolished and Israel will not end its military offensive against Gaza. Israel slowly began to allow some humanitarian aid after the “total blockade of 2.5 months focused on Hamas”, but it seems that it is not enough in the ongoing crisis.
