At the current pace, we would reach their position in about 30 minutes if they do not move.

GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS NEAR GAZA AS IT APPROACHES ISRAEL'S ILLEGAL NAVAL BLOCKADE October 1, 2025 Humanitarian Convoy- at Approximately 120 Nautical Miles from Gaza-Will Be Joined by International Legal and Maritime Experts WHEN: Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 12:30pm Gaza Time (GMT+3 / 09.30 UTC) WHERE: Virtually at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88288424037 WHO: Speakers to include: ◦ Lisi Proenca, Participant on Board Sirius ◦ Thiago Ávila, GSF Steering Committee Member on Board Alma ◦ Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories ◦ Lamis J. Deek, International Lawyer, Director of Legal-Diplomatic Affairs for PAL
Commission Mediterranean Sea - The Global Sumud Flotilla will hold a press conference near the 120 nautical mile line off Gaza's coast as it approaches Israel's illegal naval blockade. Last night, Israeli warships engaged in dangerous and intimidatory maneuvers against flotilla vessels Alma and Sirius. Warships disabled communications, aggressively circled civilian boats, and forced captains into sharp evasive actions to avoid collision. These hostile actions placed unarmed civilians from over 40 countries in grave danger. Despite these reckless aggressions, the flotilla remains undeterred and continues its course with determination. Carrying urgently needed food and medicine, participants emphasize that they are peaceful humanitarian volunteers sailing in international waters to challenge Israel's unlawful siege of Gaza and deliver aid to a population facing starvation and genocide. Today's press conference will provide: ◦ A briefing on Israel's overnight actions against the flotilla. ◦ Legal context on Israel's naval blockade from international lawyers and maritime experts. ◦ Statements from flotilla passengers about their mission, motivations, and the urgency of breaking the siege on Gaza.
