The organization of Freedom Flotilla Coalition, responsible for the trip of the “Madleen”, announced that all twelve activists “would be transferred to the custody of the Israeli authorities”. “You may be able to fly out of Tel Aviv this evening,” it said in the online networks.
Aid supplies from Greta Thunberg and Co. are to be distributed
The Israeli Foreign Ministry had previously announced that the “‘Selfie yacht’ the ‘Celebrities'”In the meantime, in Israel, after she had previously been stopped by the Israeli Navy.” The tiny amount of relief goods on the yacht that did not ‘Celebrities’ It is now being brought up via real auxiliary channels in the Gaza Strip, “it said. In a video published by the Foreign Ministry, the activists can be seen in orange -colored lifeguard.
The sailing ship of the so -called “Freedom Flotilla” broke out from Sicily a week ago towards Gaza Strip. The crew around Thunberg wanted to bring relief goods through the Israeli sea blockade into the Gaza Strip. Thunberg had previously repeatedly participated in pro-Palestinian protests. A special unit of the Israeli army entered the ship in international waters and brought its crew to Israel against its will. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition therefore speaks of kidnapping.
Regardless of the war in the Gaza Strip, Israel strictly ranks the Palestinian area from the sea, even if this is a clear break in international law. The measure was introduced in 2007 after the Islamist Hamas was taken over and is officially supported by Egypt, which borders on the coastal strips in the south. According to official language regulation, it should serve to prevent arms deliveries to Hamas. However, there were no weapons on board the Gaza Hilfschifs “Madleen” but relief goods. The Israeli military action is therefore likely to have violated the Geneva conventions and could represent a war crime.
