Israeli forces detain more than 200 people in flotilla from 37 countries
Global Sumud Flotilla spokesperson Saif Abukeshek has provided a “mission update” in a post on Instagram, confirming that Israeli forces have intercepted 13 boats at sea.
Abukeshek said there were more than 201 people from 37 countries on those boats, including 30 participants from Spain; 22 from Italy; 21 from Turkey; and 12 from Malaysia.
He said the group’s “mission is going on” despite the arrests and vessels are continuing to sail “through the Mediterranean to break the siege on Gaza”.
“We have around 30 ships that are still fighting their way away from the military vessels of the occupation forces trying to reach to the shores of Gaza. They are determined. They are motivated, and they are doing everything within their hand to be able to break this [siege] by early morning and to arrive together,” he said.
This feels like a tipping point. The whole world is watching and I know this sick country is going to go too far.
Can't share your optimism, the West is openly fascist and won't care.
I'm not being optimistic. I think things are going to get really ugly and the whole world is watching. How any of these governments choose to act is a different story altogether.
