The Handala, one of the Flotille ships of the Liberté, was intercepted by the Israeli army when he approached the Gaza Strip this Saturday, July 26.
In the images broadcast live by Flotille de la Liberté, on YouTube, Israeli soldiers were filmed around 10:40 pm landing on the ship to take control.
An alert message was transmitted in X by the story of the Eurodiputada Rebel Emma Fourreau, which is aboard the boat.
The “healthy and sound passengers” assure Israel
“The prostitute was arrested by the genocidal army of Israel, the crew was illegally kidnapped,” he wrote, calling to challenge the President of the Republic and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to “demand the immediate release of the crew.”
The Israeli Foreign Ministry says that “all passengers are salivals and healthy.” He also said, in a statement, “having prevented the ship from entering illegally into the maritime area of the coast of Gaza.”
A “piracy act committed in international waters”
“The boat was 115 km from the coast of Gaza, in international waters,” the Emma Fourreau MEP team reacted, which also denounced “an act of piracy.”
“They attack 21 people unarmed in international waters where they are not entitled,” Jean-Luc Mélenchon reacted. Neither Emmanuel Macron nor Jean-Noël Barrot have reacted publicly, for the moment, for the moment.
Two French deputies aboard
The ship had left the port of Syracuse on July 13 Avaec aboard about fifteen activists, including the MP LFI Gabrielle Cathala and the Eurodiputada Emma Fourreau.
This former Norwegian drag, responsible for medical equipment, food, children’s equipment and medicines, had to navigate for about a week in the Mediterranean Sea to travel about 1,800 km to Gaza Côtes.
The expedition, financed by donation campaigns, aims to “contribute international human solidarity to the Palestinian population of Gaza,” Claude Léostic, coordinator of the “Flotilla for Freedom” on France on Saturday in France
