Aboard the ship Madleen, pro-Palestinian activists are en route to the Gaza Strip, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has called to “dismantle Zionism,” French-European Parliament member Rima Hassan, who described Hamas’s October 7 massacre as “legitimate,” and Irish actor Liam Cunningham of Game of Thrones fame. The flotilla seeks to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian supplies. On board are also a physician and Al Jazeera journalists.

According to the local defense ministry sources cited by El Mundo, “A deliberate process is in place to phase out Israeli technology gradually.”

According to sources in Hamas, the meeting resulted from an agreement between Egypt and Qatar that led to a new round of talks aimed at breaking the deadlock.

A media discourse in which only one position is deemed legitimate and moral, while the other is excluded and portrayed as callous and heartless, is shallow, biased, and borders on ideological tyranny. The accusation that opponents of hostage deals do not care about the captives’ lives is baseless; they do care, and their choice is no less moral than that of the deal’s supporters.

A video circulating on social media shows three unidentified individuals walking through a Jewish neighborhood in the British capital, carrying a ladder and scissors, and removing yellow ribbons tied to lampposts in support of Israeli hostages held by the Hamas terrorist organization.
