⛵️✍️ Flotilla Update⛵️✍️: After a final technical pit stop in Antalya bay, the Global Sumud Flotilla fleet with over 50 boats is heading for Gaza—on alert as it sails past Cyprus, and with no more planned stops. Soon after departing from a port in Marmaris, Turkey, the 58 Sumud Flotilla boats were forced to make a technical stop, with two ships decommissioned for this leg of the journey. Any further technical problems will mean the boats will be serviced independently of the flotilla, which does not plan to stop for any reason. Now, the fleet is leaving Antalya bay and will continue on toward Gaza, after departing today. From here, according to the revised route passing by Cyprus, it will take 3 to 4 days to reach Gaza. The fleet will be in international waters west of Cyprus by the end of the day, and organizers have implemented a heightened alert status for the fleet starting at sundown this evening, when the ships immediately risk attack and interception by Israeli forces. The fleet will remain on high alert until interception or until it reaches Gaza’s shores.

This unidentified plane—whose origin is unknown, but likely a Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules, based on the six visble propellers—passed our ship overhead three times around noon today, while we sailed east of Sicily today. It was not seen on OSINT air traffic maps at the time.

Here’s a video from our boat where spirits and morale are high: we are playing music to drown out the Israelis jamming our radio.

By happenstance, the GSF fleet is passing northeast through an international trade corridor west of Rhodes where the MSC Maya is heading southeast. Two weeks ago, the flotilla confronted the MSC Maya in a direct action, and now we have coincidentally blocked its path again.

New video report of the kidnapping episode by Israeli forces in international waters. Also, I managed to record discreetly some moments of the initial interception. They immediately destroyed the ship’s camera when they boarded. I asked if we were being detained. They forced us to sail the ship to the military frigate (“take the ships to the fucking lights”). At the end, I’m asked to stand up. Here’s that footage

👀Two possible military vessels👀: Participants across multiple Sumud Flotilla boats have spotted two possible and unidentified military vessels, one large and one small, traveling west of the fleet—their origins, flags, and whether they are military are unconfirmed, while some have speculated they are NATO vessels. The larger vessel has the same shape as the Israeli one that intercepted the boats west of Crete.

🏮⛵️Breaking⛵️🏮: While sailing off the coast of Tunis, the GSF fleet has lit flares across the ships in a show of solidarity with the release of Sana Msahli, and in support of the 6 remaining Maghreb Freedom Flotilla comrades still detained by the Tunisian authorities. On March 16, Tunisian judicial authorities ordered the detention of seven members of the steering committee of the Maghreb Freedom Flotilla, with investigations ongoing into allegations including tax evasion and money laundering, after arresting them earlier that month in a hotel in Sidi Bou Said, where Israel bombed the previous flotilla mission while at port. Sixteen Tunisian organizations—including the Tunisian League for Human Rights, the National Union of Tunisian Journalists, and the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women—have called for the immediate release of the activists In a joint statement titled “Supporting the Palestinian cause is not a crime!” The organisations have said that the judicial process has lacked credibility, and argued that the arrests go beyond preventing ships from sailing from Tunisia to Gaza. Wael Nouar, Jawaher Channa, Nabil Chanoufi, Mohammed Amin Belnou are said to be still detained.

⛵️Flotilla Update⛵️: The Globa Sumud Flotilla (GSF) Arrives to Turkey. After 24 days—across a stop on the island of Sicily, an Israeli interception, almost two days of detainment on an Israeli prison boat, and a recent stop on the island of Crete—over 30 GSF ships from Barcelona and Italy arrive to Marmaris, Turkey. The Turkish coast guard and local GSF fleet, including the “Family” boat that was attacked by a drone and decommissioned during the mission last fall, sailed out to greet us near where the flotilla will anchor off the coast. The Sumud Flotilla will dock here for the organization to conduct an international assembly—and to hold press conferences and organization-wide briefings—in order to discuss collectively the flotilla’s next steps and publicly agitate for safe passage to Gaza.

Holly Blue, one of the ships that was boarded by the Israelis and left stranded west of Crete has been recovered by the team, and it is now sailing between all of her sister ships while someone on board plays a bag pipe. :-)
