«Israel accepted the proposal of the Italian government to download aid to the port of Cyprus and then transfer them to Gaza. Flottiglia rejected the Italian proposal, showing that its real purpose is the provocation and service to Hamas ». The Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sàar writes it on X, reiterating that “Israel will not allow ships to enter an active combat area and will not allow the violation of a legitimate naval blockage. Israel is still ready to engage in any constructive agreement to transfer aid in a legal and peaceful way ».
«It is clear that the organizers and the purpose of this flotilla organized by Hamas are not humanitarian aid. In any case, Israel made a very clear statement and a very peaceful proposal to the organizers, “the General Manager of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Eden Bar, recalled at the press conference, just before the message on X of Gideon Sàar. «Israel proposed to the heads of the flotilla to download their aid, alleged aid, in the Tourist Port of Ashkelon, a few minutes from Gaza, and to transfer them immediately to the strip. Unfortunately, the proposal has been rejected twice. Israel continued with her efforts and proposed the discharge of aid into any port of neighboring countries: we offered Cyprus, Greece, Crete, and once again, she was rejected ».
Finally, “we received the negative response of the flotilla to the proposal of the Italian government made only a couple of days ago to the organizers of the Flottiglia to download the aid in the port of Cyprus. This refusal, for the third or fourth time by the flotilla, demonstrates the true purpose of this flotilla: the provocation and the service to Hamas, certainly not a humanitarian effort ».
During the press conference, ZIV Hava, co-founder of Inteleye, Israeli company of data analysis that collaborates with the government of Netanyahu, illustrated the results of what said to be an investigation that would experience the links between some managers of the Global Sumud Flotilla and Hamas: “Our investigation revealed that at least seven high officials involved in the flotilla have documented and repeated ties with organizations Designant terrorist, mainly Hamas, but also the popular front for the liberation of Palestine and even Hezbollah ». Hava has mentioned “Zaher Birawi, founding member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and key coordinator of the Flottiglia operation since 2010. He is identified as an active member of both Hamas and Muslim brothers,” he accused.
“Saif Abu Kishk is a member of the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) designated by Israel as a terrorist organization due to its direct link with Hamas. Saif is also the CEO of the company Cyber Neptune, founded this year, owner of an important part of the flirts of the Flottiglia”.
The report also claims to “include photographic documentation of direct meetings between the leaders of the flotilla and terrorists”. This is “the direct proof of the operating overlap between the leadership of the flotilla and terrorist organizations. This is not a humanitarian initiative. It is a coordinated and politically motivated operation “designed” to arouse international sympathy, exercise political pressure on Israel and, above all, to provide coverage to the affiliated network to Hamas that operates throughout Europe “, is the conclusion of Hava.
«A block that without the civilians of food, medicines and aid is prohibited. A block that damages the civilian population disproportionately is prohibited. Israel has no legal authority on the waters of Gaza: they belong to Palestine »Meanwhile Global Sumud Flotilla replies and adds,” Flottiglia navigates with every valid legal right to provide help. Any attempt to stop it violates international law and the right of the sea. We sail not only with solidarity, but with the law on our side ».
