MK Hanin Zoabi ‘undecided’ over new Gaza flotilla
Arab Joint List lawmaker Hanin Zoabi denies a report earlier this evening that she plans to join a new flotilla to Gaza slated for September-October of this year.
In a statement to reporters following the Channel 2 report, Zoabi says it’s not clear that the flotilla, which organizers say will be crewed entirely by women, will even take shape.
Zoabi, of the Palestinian nationalist party Balad, has been a lightning rod for anger from many Israelis, especially right-wing lawmakers, after questioning whether the killing of Israelis was terrorism and joining a Turkish flotilla to Gaza in 2010.
