It has remained undeterred in its mission to break the Israeli blockade of the coastal strip and reach Palestinians. Overnight, the activists said two Israeli warships aggressively approached two of their boats, circling them and jamming their communications, including the live cameras on board. After the close encounter overnight, the military vessels eventually left and the flotilla continued on its journey, broadcasting live cameras from many of its boats. Some activists held up messages of solidarity with people in Gaza and chanted “Free Palestine!” on camera. Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called the flotilla a provocation and warned them to stop and transfer their aid through other channels into Gaza.
