Protests erupted in different parts of the world on Thursday, including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Bogota, Istanbul, Athens, Madrid and a number Italian cities, after news spread that Israeli military intercepted the Gaza-bound international aid flotilla, detaining over 200 activists.
A number of European and South American cabinet members and lawmakers also joined the flurry to categorically censure Israel for its “criminal interception.” Colombia expelled the entire Israeli diplomatic team, and terminated its free trade deal with Israel.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which consists of more than 40 civilian boats carrying about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists, includes an Italian contingent. It has been trying to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza with medicine and food, despite repeated warnings from Israel to turn back.
On Wednesday, Israel’s navy fired water cannons at ships in the flotilla, jammed their communication systems and arrested activists as they sailed through international waters towards Gaza.
