The Israeli plane that landed in Sigonella? I'm just saying it seems like a strange coincidence. Our vessels in Spain were reached by surveillance drones, but I can't say they were Israeli. They were there, and they followed them during the nighttime navigation. The truth is that we actually expect them to be monitoring the scale of the operation; we're not surprised.

Maria Elena Delia, spokesperson for Italy for the Global Sumud Flotilla, said this as soon as she arrived in Syracuse , asking "the government to protect our safety, given that we are not doing anything illegal."

"At sea," he added, "we expect a blockade as has always been the case in previous missions, but this time there will be many of us, many boats, many people, and so in some ways the outcome is not a given."

On Sunday morning, about twenty sailing boats will set sail from Augusta to reach Gaza, and the motorboats will be carrying humanitarian aid.
