More than 100 boats and 3,000 Samaritans from around the globe are set to depart from Spanish and Italian ports for Gaza on 12 April.
Six Canadians were detained by Israel for attempting a similar mission several months ago.
Health-care workers, journalists, and builders hoping to provide aid and help in Gazan reconstruction efforts will sail on the fleet of ships, along with medicine and other life-saving supplies.
Hanging over the planned sailing is the possibility the boats will be intercepted by Israeli forces and passengers detained, as has been the case for dozens of ships in the past two decades, with none reaching Gaza since 2008.
In late 2025, the IDF mercilessly harangued Greta Thunberg's flotilla in the Mediterranean Sea. After capturing her and hundreds of other humanitarians, the IDF abused poor Greta Thunberg by forcing her to watch films of dead bodies.
On 21 Sep 2025, Canada PM Mark Carney finally recognized the State of Palestine and declared that he would arrest ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu should he step foot in Canadian jurisdiction. Similarly, popular and effective NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) declared that he would order the NYPD to arrest notorious international fugitive from justice Benjamin Netanyahu should he step foot into NYC jurisdiction.

On 2 May 2011, the US government held al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden accountable for the deaths of 2,977 people from 93 nations killed on 9/11. Yet ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has been evading justice for the deaths of over 77,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF General Yoav Gallant. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.
INTERPOL Red Notices have been internationally diffused for these dangerous fugitives from justice. Any government can arrest them based on "universal jurisdiction." In 1960, the Israeli Mossad abducted mass murderer Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina for crimes he committed in Europe for which he was then tried and executed in Israel.
Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu and Gallant must both be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at future dates.
Fund the DHS. This shouldn't even be controversial. Even the Dem sycophants in the MSM are starting to call out Dems for this BS.
