‘Israel’ announced Thursday that none of the Global Sumud Flotilla ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid managed to break through its blockade of Gaza.

"None of the Hamas-Sumud provocation yachts has succeeded in its attempt to enter an active combat zone or breach the lawful naval blockade," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"One last vessel of this provocation remains at a distance. If it approaches, its attempt to enter an active combat zone and breach the blockade will also be prevented."

The flotilla was made up of more than 40 civilian vessels carrying around 500 parliamentarians, lawyers, and activists.

Among those on board were high-profile figures such as Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and French lawmaker Rima Hassan, both of whom have previously joined efforts to breach the blockade.
