1,000 boats to leave Turkey for Gaza in new ‘Freedom Flotilla’
GAZA, (PIC) - November 23, 2023
------------------------------

Approximately 1,000 boats have gathered in Turkey on Wednesday before
heading toward Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade in a
similar attempt from over a decade ago.

In an interview with Turkish news website Haber7, Volkan Okçu, one of the
organizers of the protest, indicated the boats will carry 4,500 people from
40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews.”

Among the 1,000 vessels would be 313 boats filled with Russian activists,
and 104 filled with Spanish activists, he said. Only 12 Turkish vessels
will join the flotilla, he told Haber7.

However, Okçu said in a later tweet that he expected the number of Turkish
vessels to be much higher.

The activist indicated to Haber7 that the flotilla is scheduled to leave
Turkish coasts on Thursday. The maritime convoy is set to make a first stop
in Cyprus before continuing toward the Israeli port of Ashdod. Some
participants in the flotilla will also reportedly take their spouses and
children on board.
