Palestinians in Gaza welcomed the Global Sumud Flotilla, describing it as a
powerful act of solidarity aimed at breaking the years-long blockade and
amplifying the global rejection of genocide.

The Gaza Tribes Union praised the “blessed convoy,” saying the homes and
tents of Gaza’s families are open to the men and women of the flotilla. The
union emphasized that Palestinians will receive the activists with “hearts
before hands,” just as they did with previous international solidarity
missions.

It stressed that the initiative carries long-awaited hope for every child
and woman in Gaza, proving their voices have reached the conscience of free
people worldwide.

The Follow-Up Committee of National and Islamic Forces also saluted the
Freedom Flotilla, which consists of dozens of ships carrying aid and
international activists representing broad sectors across Europe and beyond.

In a statement on Saturday, the committee said the convoy exposes the
failure of official policies to end the Nazi-style genocide and blockade
against Gaza.

The committee described the flotilla as a “voice of human conscience” that
rejects war and genocide while standing with justice and truth embodied in
the Palestinian cause.

It denounced ongoing US-Israeli pressure campaigns to silence international
calls for justice, insisting the Palestinian people must be rescued from
Israel’s machinery of killing and destruction, carried out in violation of
international laws, conventions, and human values.

Palestinian factions expressed pride in the participants and gratitude to
all who contribute to humanitarian efforts for Gaza, calling the convoy a
historic initiative that reaffirms global solidarity with the besieged
population.

The Global Sumud Flotilla has emerged as the largest civilian maritime
initiative in support of Palestinians, bringing together activists from
multiple nationalities. Organizers say it represents a global humanitarian
outcry against international indifference to the ongoing genocide.

On Thursday, the flotilla regrouped near a small island in the
Mediterranean before sailing toward international waters close to Italy’s
maritime zone. Additional ships carrying tons of humanitarian relief and
dozens more activists are expected to join the convoy as it continues its
mission toward Gaza.
