Israeli PM expected to share a defiant message at the UN general assembly on Friday against a Palestinian state
An international aid flotilla was expected to leave Greek waters and head towards Gaza on Friday, organisers said, defying warnings from Israel that it would use any means to block the boats’ access to the war-torn territory, reports Reuters.
The “Global Sumud Flotilla” is using about 50 civilian boats to try to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, an initiative Israel strongly opposes. Many lawyers, parliamentarians, and activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, are on board.
