Israel’s Defense Minister has once again threatened unlawful force against civilians, attempting to justify violence with baseless smears. We will not be intimidated.
The 'Madleen' is a peaceful civilian vessel, unarmed and sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid and human rights defenders. This mission is independent, guided only by conscience and solidarity with Gaza.
We are currently about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Earlier signal jamming briefly disrupted our location, but our tracker is functioning again. We remain calm and prepared in the face of possible Israeli aggression.
We call on world governments to demand Israel stand down. It has no right to obstruct our mission or enforce its illegal and brutal blockade.

The Madleen is currently under israeli occupation attack. Communications are jammed and drones are surrounding the ship, dropping a white substance on the Freedom flotilla.
