According to the publication of the KUDS News network on the X platform, the boat communication is seriously disturbed. One of the activists said they could be attacked.
Human Rights Activine Yasemin Acar, which is located on Madleen and Objects Duty of the Freedom Freedom Coalition Coordinator (FFC), said Israel actively interferes with the internet connection of the ship as it approaches Gaza.
“We just received confirmation from our land team that interference officially started. Our relationship is extremely slow, which means that at any moment we could be completely cut off from the world,” Acar told Anatolia. According to her, the ship is currently 116 nautical miles from the trail of Gaza, still in international waters.
ACAR warned that every attack of Israeli forces on the ship would be in conflict with international law: “We are in international waters. If IDF attacks a humanitarian mission that does not carry weapons and transport help, it is a war crime.”
She also reminded of previous attacks of Israeli for similar missions, including a deadly ship on the ship Mavi Marmara 2010. year, ten activists were killed, and the Drone attack on the Conscience ship. May this year with Malta.
“The next 24 hours are very important,” the ACAR said, emphasizing that the ship has no contact with Israeli authorities – nor direct or indirect.
There are currently 12 people, including Swedish climatic activists Gretu Thunberg and Irish actor Liam Cunningham. ACAR emphasizes that the mission is exclusively humanitarian: “We are not looking for a conflict. We are not wearing a weapon. We just try to deliver help to people who are starving while the international community is silent and sends a weapon instead of help.”
Israel Katz Israeli Minister Publicly threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent Madleen to Gaza.
“I ordered the Israeli army to do everything to prevent the flotilla of hate ‘Madleen’ to Gaza. I clearly tell the anti-Semitic propagandists of Greta and Hamas, because you won’t get to Gaza,” he said in publication.
He also published a photograph of the meeting with the Chief Staff of Eyal families and commanders of the Navy, confirming that the Israeli maritime forces prepare forcibly redirect the ship towards the port of Ashdod.
Madleen, the 18-meter sailboat, sailed in 1. June from Luka San Giovanni Lee heard in Catania, Sicily. In the organization of the coalition of FLOTILE freedom, it aims to translate urgently needed assistance to Gaza residents, including:
- Children’s food and diapers
- flour, rice and female hygienic supplies
- Medical equipment, crutches and prostheses for children
- Water desalination devices
The threat of possible military intervention is additionally enhanced by the mention of Unit S13, the elite Israeli Naval unit specializing in desantants and anti-terrorist operations. Their involvement suggests that the Israeli forces discuss direct intervention at sea, despite the fact that the ship is still in international waters.
The UN experts and numerous lawyers called on Israel to guarantee the safe passage of the floti, emphasizing that every violence against the mission would be a violation of the International Conventions. Human rights organizations are warned by dramatic humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where despite the partial opening of border crossings remains a catastrophic hunger.
Yasemin Acar said Madleen was not just a ship, but a symbol: “It’s just a small part of the global upright upracy.”
Activists emphasize that the blockade lasts since 2007. and that the world closes the eyes before its consequences.
“We’ve been talking this for years – until the world is silent, we try to deliver help peacefully,” Acar concluded.
