The #Samud #GazaFlotilla is currently sailing across the Ionian Sea towards the island archipelago south east of Athens in the Western Mediterranean. Conditions appear good for this leg that departed from Sicily after leaving Tunisia. The Flotilla set off from Barcelona.

2/ this current leg is 860 kms roughly and lead boats in the 51 vessel flotilla are currently approaching south western Greece. You can follow the flotillas progress here >> flotilla-orpin.vercel.app

3/ After two drone attacks on flotilla boats in Tunisia the flotilla sailed first to Sicily where it was joined by several more boats. And this map shows the path of the flotilla so far. The numbers in the dots indicate more vessels joining #GazaFlotilla

I think the numbers on the dots indicate more boats joining the flotilla. And many many more vessels may now join it from the numerous islands in the Agean which is on the route of Gaza flotilla.

This image shows what may be the final leg in the Gaza flotilla albeit with a time yet to be confirmed and possibly with many more vessels having joined it.

Weather could also play a part in the date of departure as may possible military activity in the path of the flotilla.

The weakness of the uk prime minister is palpable. Astonishing. Pathetic.

From the Hindustan Times

“In a historic move, Turkey and Egypt are launching their first joint naval exercises in 13 years, dubbed “Friendship Sea,” signaling a dramatic thaw in relations and an unprecedented show of strength in the eastern Mediterranean.”

This high-profile military collaboration—just miles from Israel’s coast—follows a decade of diplomatic rupture triggered by the 2013 ouster of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government, which Turkey had supported. 2/3

“With both countries vocally opposed to Israel’s Gaza campaign, the maneuvers are widely seen as a warning to Israel and a sign that Netanyahu’s war in Gaza has pushed former foes into strategic cooperation.” 3/3

These are all Israeli IDF army officers who were trained in the uk

NEW | Declassified has obtained a list of Israelis who graduated from the Royal College of Defence Studies in London.

Israeli officers fighting in Gaza have received training at Britain’s prestigious Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS), Declassified reveals. /1

At least 32 Israeli military figures, including senior commanders such as Colonel Yaniv Asor, head of the Israeli occupation forces Southern Command, and director-general Amir Baram, are RCDS alumni, 6 more trained at the UK’s Advanced Command & Staff Course-Oxfordshire. /2

The Gaza flotilla is intending as I understand from informed sources in contact with the flotilla intending to pause again and regroup in Malta on its trip to Israel to break the seige in Gaza.

The flotilla is in my view on very grave danger and ought to be being escorted by European naval vessels.

Sources close to the flotilla inform me that there is evidence of internal sabotage of the planned humanitarian mission and may have been infiltrated by bad actors.

Some media participating in the flotilla were expelled in Tunisia and it seems possible that Israel is involved.

At this point following the Qatar obscenity Israel is now breaking the internet and the world.

something decisive is needed to break Israel - a peaceful action that will work and show the world that justice still exists and that peace is possible.

A wise friend proposed a brilliant idea. Every nation on earth which is willing and able should send a frigate to the Mediterranean Sea and take a message to Israel that it cannot ignore.

The foundations of the United Nations itself are now crumbling under the weight of the Gaza Obscenity and nations like Britain that seem to have been turned are facing protest and resistance of epic proportions from their citizens.

The center cannot hold.

I’ll be posting videos and news here on Twitter from the flotilla which is about to depart from Majorca for Tunis on the first leg of the journey to Gaza.

More boats are expected to join the flotilla from Europe and North Africa along the way as it moves west across the Mediterranean. @GretaThunberg is making the voyage again and Israel will not be able to contain or stop this flotilla most likely. And definitely not the publicity.
