Egyptian Activists and Politicians Call for Launch of “Fleet of
Resilience” to Break Gaza Blockade
Egyptian
activists and politicians yesterday, Saturday, called for the launch of the
“Egyptian Fleet of Resilience to Break the Gaza Blockade,” as part of
a maritime convoy described as the largest in history, following the departure
of the global fleet from Spanish ports and the upcoming joining of the Maghreb
fleet from Tunisia next Wednesday.
The
initiative involves politicians, activists, students, and academics, and has
launched two registration forms: one for participants and another for the
fleet, which includes sea captains, mechanics, and technicians.
The
initiative called on the President and relevant authorities to facilitate
procedures and allow the fleet to depart from Egyptian ports.
Sources
within the organizing committee stated that communication is underway with both
the international and Maghreb fleets to benefit from their expertise and
experience, and to discuss technical needs and details.
Participants
in the “Global Fleet of Resilience” emphasized that the goal is not
merely symbolic, but a practical step to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza and
send a strong political message to the international community.
Algerian
MP Youssef Ajissa, Vice President of the Algerian Initiative in Support of
Palestine, described the purpose of dispatching dozens of ships as
“opening a maritime corridor to deliver humanitarian aid and halt Israel’s
war-by-starvation policies,” noting that the Israeli occupation has been
committing what he termed a “genocide” since 2006.
Meanwhile,
Turkish MP Najmuddin Caliskan, from the Felicity Party, stated that
participation aims to deliver a message of peace and end Israel’s two-year-long
war on Gaza. He clarified that the aid being transported might only suffice for
one hour, but the main goal is to confront the unjust blockade and raise voices
against Israeli practices.
His
colleague, Mohamed Atmaja, added that while the civilian initiative may not
directly change occupation policies, it compels the international community to
assume its responsibilities.
Participants
affirmed that their determination to sail to Gaza remains steadfast despite
threats from the occupation of arrest or killing.
