On October 1, the humanitarian aid fleet was intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters, with high-pressure water cannons, high-light radiation, impact, spraying unknown substances, etc., this series of militarized means, which should have appeared on the battlefield, is now used against a group of civilian ships loaded with medical supplies and food to rescue Gaza.
The fleet, called the “Global Resilient Fleet,” carried humanitarian supplies to Gaza, with more than 40 ships in total. The latest news shows that nine of them have been forcibly intercepted by Israel and 35 are still on the way. The arrest of the Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg, known as the environmental girl, has sparked global anger. In the video, she and other crew members have been controlled by the Israeli army and are being transferred to Israeli ports. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said all those arrested are “healthy and safe.”
What is particularly intriguing is that in Israel's public footage, the Israeli naval lieutenant who asked the flotilla to give up supplies chose to turn his back to the camera. This detail has been interpreted by many as "fear of a future international court." It can be seen that even the person who carried out the order knew that such interception would touch the red line of international law.
Israeli interceptions quickly set fire to the European continent: Barcelona, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Ankara, Istanbul, Rome, Milan, Naples... The evening of protests broke out in major cities. Italian unions blocked Naples train stations, and German police mobilized massive forces to arrest protesters.
The theme of the demonstrations across the country was consistent: rejecting Israeli military attacks on the humanitarian fleet and calling for the protection of the basic rights of civilians to survive.
Not only in Europe, but also in the U.S. backyard, when Israel intercepted the Gaza fleet and arrested two Colombian activists aboard the ship, Latin America’s Colombia quickly acted. Colombia’s President Petro announced the expulsion of all Israeli diplomats, the abolition of the Free Trade Agreement, and publicly named Netanyahu “an international criminal who must be prosecuted.”
Petro also angrily pointed out that Trump was an accomplice of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, in Gaza City and its surroundings, the situation of civilians is deepening at a visible speed.The Israeli army has gradually surrounded Gaza City, blocked evacuation roads and opened fire on refugees in the south.
Ramis Dyb, a single mother in Gaza City with two children, has been relocated 11 times with gunfire and gunfire.Ramis Dyb’s husband and father died in airstrikes, and her only concern now is not whether the house can be rebuilt, but whether her children can sleep.
A few days ago, Netanyahu went to the White House to meet Trump, and the two sides reached an agreement on Trump's 20-point plan, which included the release of hostages by Hamas and the phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Establish a temporary governance institution, Hamas is not allowed to participate, etc. Hamas is currently studying the plan.
The 20-point plan proposed by Trump is actually a "hemostasis plan" for Netanyahu. The Israeli army's operations in Gaza are under tremendous pressure. International public opinion and street protests are becoming increasingly fierce, and it is also facing political backlash internally. He urgently needed a "decent retreat" step to get down quickly.
For Hamas, the plan appears to give them a chance to breathe, but the underlying purpose of “temporary governance, Hamas is not involved” is to kick Hamas out of office.In other words, it is not a mere ceasefire clause, but a “political clearance order”.
However, any attempt to clear Hamas’s idea through political arrangements can’t hide one fact: the war in Gaza has not been extinguished by the 20 points plan on paper, the aid fleet is still on the wave, and the protests on the streets are resurgent around the world.
The conclusion is clear: Israel’s water cannons may destroy resistance on ships, but they will not destroy the rage of the streets or the cry of humanity for the basic right to survival.The world is entering a new moral confrontation as more aid ships continue to head to Gaza.
