Mediterranean Sea: Vowing to continue sailing and deliver aid to Palestinians in Gaza the activists aboard Madleen flotilla Friday said the Zionist regime in Israel and its head Netanyahu will not be able to threaten and stop their mission.

“It’s important to understand that Netanyahu and any other repressive regime throughout history actually fear the people. We do not fear them,” Brazilian activist Thiago Avila said.

“The Freedom Flotilla Coalition will never stop due to the Zionists threats. We know we have billions of people along with the 12 of us on this boat!” he added in a video message posted on social media platform X.
