Israeli civilians are organizing a counter-flotilla to visibly confront the Global “Sumud” convoy as it nears Israel’s waters.
The push—amplified by freed hostage Emily Damari and influencer Natalie Dadon—calls boat owners to form a non-violent “blue-and-white wall” for the hostages and against what organizers describe as a propaganda cruise for Hamas.
“Bring diesel. Bring pride. The sea is waiting,” Damari urged in posts rallying skippers.
The opposing flotilla counts roughly 47–50 civilian boats and includes Greta Thunberg. After pausing in Greek waters for repairs, it has resumed sailing toward Gaza with stated plans to challenge Israel’s lawful naval blockade; Italy and Spain have positioned naval ships nearby for rescue cover.
Jerusalem’s stance is unchanged: vessels will not be allowed to breach the blockade or enter the combat zone off Gaza. Israeli security officials say Shayetet 13 and the Navy are prepared to board and tow craft if needed, while Israel continues to urge any aid be routed via Cyprus and church channels rather than a political stunt that benefits Hamas terrorists.
