At least 9 new ships are on their way to Gaza and already past Crete, more ships from Turkey may join in. https://t.me/thefreeonline/4404
Israel continues mass Murder and demolition. Over 70 bodies counted with many more under the debris..
Hamas agreed to pass Gaza Govt to a Palestinian body and release remaining hostages ( as they had offered before) IF the bombing stops NOW and borders open to Aid..
Today saw Hundreds of massive demonstrations against Israeli fascist Genocide in all corners of the Planet. Over 1 million in Yemen……
But they demanded extensive talks, refusing rule of outsiders, especially not genociders Tony Blair and Trump, etc.. before accepting the ‘Trump Genocide Deal’.
Trump surprisingly made a speech ordering Netanyahu to pause the bombing!
.
According to the Freedom Flotilla tracker, a convoy of at least 9 ships is sailing toward Gaza
Among the ships is the Conscious , carrying around 100 activists.
The convoy is expected to reach Gaza’s territorial waters in the upcoming days.
This comes after the ships belonging to the Global Sumud Flotilla were all hijacked by the Israeli occupation, with around 470 activists detained by Israeli occupation forces.
The pro-Palestinian movement blocks the main access to the Port of Barcelona after Israel’s attack on the flotilla
On the occasion of the Israeli army’s attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, the movement in defense of Palestine has decided to gather at the entrances of the Port of Barcelona.
The port of the Catalan capital has become a transit point for military components coming from or traveling to Israel. Goods from companies such as Carrefour, Decathlon, Coca-Cola, or Starbucks also circulate there, which according to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement are collaborators in the genocide perpetrated by the Netanyahu government.
In a statement, the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza said that 22 ships have been confirmed to be hijacked by the Israeli occupation, adding that an additional 19 are suspected to be intercepted without documentation.

later news ..22.45wed 1st Oct 25.. only 4 boats arrested so far.
The Global Sumud Flotilla reported that its radar has detected more than 20 unidentified vessels about three nautical miles ahead of the fleet. At the current pace, the flotilla would reach their location within roughly 30 minutes if the vessels remain stationary.
The group added that the identity of the vessels has not yet been confirmed, but the situation has raised concerns about a possible naval blockade.

But what about the Flotilla?? Will It be dismantled amid mass arrests as before?
We need to be suspicious and continue MAXIMIUM RESISTANCE PRESSURE in the coming days!
“The proposed plan would see Gaza supervised by Trump and by war criminal Tony Blair, and Netanyahu is already saying that the deal will allow the IDF to remain in the Palestinian territory indefinitely”
Italy’s navy ceased escorting the international Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid to Gaza once it came within 150 nautical miles (278 km) of the coast, the Italian defense ministry announced on Tuesday.
The Spanish support frigate was due to arrive, but can do very little as Spain is also a US controlled NATO State.
Late news: The Spanish navy has already abandoned the flotilla in an act of craven betrayal.
“We have detected more than 20 unidentified vessels on our radar, just 3 nautical miles ahead of our fleet. This may indicate a possible naval blockade. But let it be clear: we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza”.
The Global Sumud Flotilla said that the Israeli occupation boats are surrounding the flotilla, and at least two ships have been intercepted.
Earlier, Yasemin Acar, member of Global Sumud Flotilla, said that the Alma boat was intercepted, adding, “This is against our will. We are being kidnapped.“–

“October 1 – 9:34 PM GMT +3 Our ships are being illegally intercepted. Cameras are out of service and military personnel have boarded vessels. We are actively working to confirm the safety and status of all participants on board.
In a video circulating online, Thiago Avila, a member of the Global Sumud Flotilla, is heard as he confronts the Israeli occupation naval forces, invoking international law and demanding they not commit another war crime against a peaceful humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Italy’s Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) trade union announced a nationwide general strike on October 3 in response to Israeli occupation forces intercepting the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla.
The union reiterated its previous commitment to stop work if the convoy faced attacks, saying that “Israel” is breaching international law.
“Attacked the Global Sumud Fleet. Israel attacks international law. Now is the time to block everything,” the union said in a statement on X.
USB also urged immediate mobilizations “in all squares” leading up to the strike.

Coinciding with El Lokal’s 37th anniversary, and thanks to the support of Sala Paral·lel62 and the participating artists, we were all able to feel the collective joy of gathering for a huge party marking the end of the campaign.

26/09 #Italy – Protests continue in support of the Palestinian people and the Global Sumud Flotilla, and against the Italian government’s complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
In Livorno, dockworkers and other groups occupied the port for three consecutive days, preventing the docking of the American ship SLNC Severn, which was carrying vehicles and caterpillars destined for a US military base in Pisa.
In Taranto, dockworkers and other groups prevented the docking of the oil tanker Seasalvia, which was waiting at the port to load 30,000 tons of crude oil destined for the Israeli Air Force.
In Ravenna, dockworkers identified and blocked the loading of containers full of weapons destined for the Israeli army.
In Trieste, dockworkers went on strike against the docking of the MSC Melani III, which was carrying weapons and war material destined for the Israeli army.
In Genoa, dockworkers and other collectives demonstrated outside the city hall against the docking of a ship loaded with steel destined for military use in Israel in the coming days.
In Salerno, dockworkers and unions declared that workers will refuse to handle cargo destined for conflict.
On Saturday, September 27, in Genoa, Italy, several delegations of workers from other European ports will meet to discuss organizing a large, united demonstration against arms trafficking.
Late Flotilla News
Two Italian naval frigates have been sent to “assist” the 50+ strong Sumud Flotilla now nearing Gaza and aiming to break the starvation Blockade.
However Meloni, head 0f the pro Zionist Italian government says “there’s no need for the flotilla to reach Gaza for Aid to get to Gaza”.
Some Flotilla members express fear that the Italian Navy may even HELP the terrorist Israeli military to block and divert the flotilla… Maybe coercing the flotilla give up, or to unload their token amount of Aid elsewhere, maybe in Cyprus?
One Spanish Navy ship is also on its way, but its stated mission seems to be to assist only Spanish citizens.
The boats heading for Gaza have received warnings of an imminent attack by Israel. While waiting for the ships from Italy and Spain to arrive, which will “take about 3 days”, the ships continue their mission.
The Global Sumud Flotilla organization called an urgent press conference this afternoon to report on the current status of the vessels and the next steps to be taken after receiving reliable information of a possible attack by Israel.
The first thing that has been done is to confirm that after the latest Israeli attack, with drones that dropped objects on the boats and sprayed them with some type of toxic substance, everyone on board is safe and the mission continues.
The flotilla continues its course to Gaza despite threats
Waiting for the ships sent by Spain and Italy to arrive—it is estimated that these vessels will reach the flotilla’s vessels in about three days—this is one of the most critical moments of the mission, which no longer plans to make any further technical stops until reaching the enclave, if that ultimately occurs.
LATE NEWS
The Italian Navy frigate has arrived on the horizon.! In the most unexpected news of the day, Italy has sent a Navy ship to escort the Global Summit Flotilla after it was attacked. .. COMMENTS.. The update is accurate, Angelina! I remain a cynical however regarding the reason that they’re going there. Are they going to prevent the flotilla from getting close to Gaza to keep them from danger? Or are they going to prevent them from being attacked.Things are changing..!? … Meloni heads a fascist administration, governing a country with deep ties, to the zionist entity. … https://substack.com/@deaglanomulrooney/note/c-159387215?

To this end, and following recent events, threats from Israel have intensified considerably. In addition to the three attacks already suffered by some of the vessels, the Netanyahu government has launched a fierce smear campaign against the activists on board, whom it links to Hamas. A pretext that paves the way for justifying whatever its intentions may be regarding the flotilla.
The mission no longer plans to make any further technical stops until reaching Gaza, if that ultimately occurs.
Six civilian ships of the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla were raided by Israel on 31 May 2010in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Nine of the flotilla passengers were killed during the raid, with 30 wounded (including one who later died of his wounds). [1][2]Wikipedia
Since 2010, attempts from the Freedom Flotilla II in 2011, Freedom Flotilla III in 2015, Women’s Boat to Gaza in 2016, Just Future for Palestine Flotilla in 2018, and flotillas in June and July 2025, have all been intercepted, raided or attacked by Israeli forces. Wikipedia

The press conference was intended to alert the international media of an alleged imminent attack by the Israelis. As indicated by the organization, a notification has been received from the Luxembourg government warning of a possible attack. On its social media, the flotilla states that other governments have also issued warnings for their nationals on board.
Regarding the presence of the Italian and Spanish vessels, sent by both governments, German activist Yasemin Acar, another of those on board, stressed that they are not the ones who need protection, “but the Palestinian population,” and that, while “all help is welcome, these governments need to protect Palestine and do so by cutting all ties with Israel.”
“I ask journalists and the media not to amplify Israel’s narrative and to verify the facts,” said German activist Yasemin Acar.
Acar recalled what happened with the Mavi Marmara in 2010, another flotilla that attempted to reach Gaza and ended with 10 Turkish crew members killed by Israeli forces. The activist recalled the strategies Israel is using, now and in the past, to discredit the flotilla through lies (such as accusing the activists on the boats of terrorism or accusing them of links to Hamas). “Something that is not new,” Yasemin said.
Flotilla anticipates ‘imminent violent Israeli attack’, will hold press conference shortly Al Jazeerea Flotilla organisers say they have received “credible intelligence” that “Israel is likely to escalate violent attacks on the flotilla within the next 48 hours”, potentially with weapons that could scuttle boats or cause fatalities.
Kleoniki Alexopoulou, a Greek national also aboard the flotilla, asked that the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s claims, which insist on the idea that the flotilla has ties to Hamas, not be given credence.
“We only ask for justice for the Palestinian population,” Alexopoulou demanded, convinced that the flotilla’s mission will be successful. She also stressed that now is one of the most critical moments.
Also from aboard the boats, activist Varsha Gandikota demanded that the words condemning the genocide in Gaza be translated into action, referring to the total embargo and all relations with the State of Israel. The meeting also featured a speech.
We are currently four days from the high-risk zone and six days from Gaza. We experienced delays due to the attack last night and the need to assess the damage, but we remain on course.
We are now headed to Greek territorial waters. Tomorrow morning, we will join the Greek fleet and sail forward together.
SAR ship Life Support continues to be a great asset in assisting vessels and participants in need of support.
We’ll be sharing daily updates as we approach the high-risk area inside Palestine’s territorial waters. Those on board are relying on people around the world to keep their eyes on the flotilla. Your witness is their protection. Please share this message far and wide.
Join us. Stop the genocide. Keep your eyes on Gaza.
A statement by Arab-American lawyer Lamis J. Deek.
The organization took the opportunity to express its gratitude for the support received from the public and the media reporting on the mission, and asserted that Israel’s violent intimidation is growing increasingly intense.
“The level of violence and harassment is what we would expect from a state like Israel; it would be surprising if they chose a different response,” said Mandla Mandela, a former member of the South African National Assembly who was aboard one of the flotilla ships.
“We will do everything in our power despite the circumstances, and we will not cease in our efforts until the genocide ends and the Palestinian people are free.”

100 people killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours
While the fifty boats of the Global Sumud flotilla advance toward Gaza—if nothing goes wrong, they are expected to arrive in the enclave in about four or five days—the State of Israel continues its campaign of terror and genocide in Gaza. In the last 24 hours, about 100 people have been killed.
