Cyprus says it won’t let boats sail to Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA diplomatic source in Cyprus says that the country will not let any boat leave its territory for the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reports. The official tells the radio station that Cyprus is not aware of any boats intending to leave its ports but adds that a boat may sail from the port of Famagusta, which is on the Turkish side of Cyprus.
The official says that Cyprus is careful not to allow ships to sail to ports which are under siege. He speaks as a new flotilla bound for Gaza left the ports of Italy yesterday. So far only one ship started sailing, even as organizers claims the flotilla will contain three vessels.
