Flotilla heading for Gaza warns that several ships will approach after entering the "danger zone"
Earlier missions were intercepted in the area, some 120 nautical miles from the Strip. "Participants have activated security protocols in anticipation of possible intervention."
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) has reported that "several unidentified vessels" have approached several of the mission's vessels, which have already moved awayas they continue to approach the Gaza Strip. They have already entered the "danger zone" where previous missions were intercepted.
"Unidentified vessels have approached several flotilla vessels, some of which had their lights off," he warned Telegram. "The participants activated the security protocols in anticipation of a possible halt," he added.
The mission reported that it is continuing its march towards the Strip, 120 nautical miles away, "near the area where previous flotilla attacks took place".
Two hours earlier, the GSF had issued a "maximum alert" after detecting an increase in "drone activity on the flotilla." "Some reports indicate that several incidents are likelyto occur in the next few hours, "they have indicated without further details.
However, the Franco-Palestinian MEP from France, Rima Hassan, who is participating in the mission, has stated that 'it will probably be intercepted this morning' by mentioning that 'there are two military vessels (...) within a few hours'.
On the contrary, the flotilla has warned that the Spanish Navy frigate "continues to sail" at half its maximum speed, so it will not be on the flotilla until noon on Wednesday, "at best."
However, despite the fact that the ship is on operational radio, the Spanish Government has "strongly" recommended that the fleet, in the current circumstances, "not enter the exclusion zone because it would seriously jeopardize its safety", as confirmed by Moncloa sources.
The organisation also criticises the fact that the Italian Government has informed them that its frigate will "soon" make a radio call to the participants offering them "the possibility of abandoning navigation and returning to the coast" and the flotilla has presented it as "an attempt to demoralise and break a peaceful humanitarian mission".
On the other hand, the MEP from France Insumisa, Emma Fourreau, has posted on the same platform a self-photo on one of the ships of the fleet with the message 'the strongest, the largest', in the face of the larger number of ships involved in this mission compared to the previous two, the only protagonists being the 'Handala' and the 'Madleen', in which was precisely the Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, who appeared in the image of Fourreau after entering the new mission.
"We will break the blockade. We will fight alongside the Palestinian people until the genocide ends and justice is done," the European Union parliamentarian has promised after criticizing US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza hours earlier.
The MEP criticised the fact that 'things are being done the other way around', calling for the blockade to be lifted, for humanitarian aid to be brought in and for 'the Israeli army to withdraw from the Strip'.
"There is not a word about genocide, not a word about the expansion and colonization of Israel, not a word about the abuses of settlers in the West Bank, not a word about the real political problem of this issue," Fourreau has criticized, "so there can be no peace and justice for the Palestinian people, not even coexistence between the two peoples until these issues are addressed and resolved."
