On this new and important initiative, the ‘Freedom Flotilla Coalition‘, has 19 activists and two renowned journalists on board the ship ‘Handala‘, including French MP Gabrielle Cathala from ‘France Unbowed‘ (La France Insoumise) and Chris Small, leader and founder of the Amazon union in the United States.
According to their official social media accounts, “The boat is carrying as much baby formula, food, and medicine as possible, but its aim is to end the need for aid by breaking Israel’s illegal siege. Keep your eyes on our team, and demand their governments uphold international law by ensuring safe passage“.
The International Workers’ Unity – Fourth International (IWU-FI) salutes this new and courageous action. We call on the peoples of the world to sustain the mobilisation of solidarity with Palestine and demand that the governments of all countries allow the free and safe passage of the Handala and its crew. We demand the opening of all borders and the free entry of all food and medical aid. Egypt and the Arab countries must open their borders! Break off relations with Israel and impose an arms embargo! Zionist troops out of Palestine and Syria! Stop the genocide! For a single, secular, democratic and non-racist Palestine!
