A new flotilla is set to launch from Sweden this week to try and create an international incident by trying to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza:
ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS – ‘Freedom Flotilla 3’ expected to leave Sweden this week; defense officials on alert.
Five years after the Mavi Marmara scandal, a new flotilla leaving for Gaza could cause another international crisis, Channel 2 reports Monday.
The flotilla is expected to join with several Swedish ships this week – and when it approaches Gaza, Islamic Jihad leader Khaled al-Batash has threatened to end the ceasefire with Israel if the Jewish state attempts to stop the provocateurs.
The flotilla has been dubbed “Freedom Flotilla 3,” a maritime challenge to Israel’s legal naval blockade on the coastal enclave of Gaza which is controlled by the Hamas terrorist organization. It’s been backed by the European Campaign to Break the Siege on Gaza. Members of the European Parliament, journalists, athletes, artists, as well as radical leftist Israelis will be on board.
Israeli defense officials and media alike are closely monitoring the flotilla’s progress.
I’m quite sure Israel won’t be caught by surprise this time around as they were the last time. I doubt there will be any international incident and probably tons of video if something does happen.
