Freedom Flotilla Prepares to Sail to Gaza Amid Tensions

Activists set to transport 5,500 tons of aid face potential Israeli intervention, with no coordination with Israel planned.

The Freedom Flotilla, carrying essential supplies, plans to depart from Istanbul for Gaza, aiming to challenge Israel's maritime blockade.
Activists anticipate possible Israeli military response, including boarding and confiscation of aid, as they attempt to deliver humanitarian assistance.
Training for non-violent resistance and handling potential confrontations with Israeli forces is underway, highlighting the risks involved.
International pressure and diplomatic maneuvers, including U.S. involvement, could influence the flotilla's ability to depart as scheduled.
The initiative reflects broader global protests against the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with significant international participation.
