AFP, Jerusalem :Activists aboard a flotilla of boats are to set sail soon for Gaza in a fresh bid to break Israel’s blockade of the territory, five years after a similar attempt ended in a deadly raid.The so-called Freedom Flotilla III – a convoy of ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists, at least one European lawmaker and an Arab-Israeli MP – will try to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip by the end of the month.Their campaign comes as Israel faces heavy international pressure over its actions in Gaza, with a UN report released on Monday saying both the Jewish state and Palestinian militants may have committed war crimes during last year’s conflict in the besieged coastal enclave.
