Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says activists on a flotilla seeking to break the blockade in Gaza will “continue to watch Gaza on YouTube” after their ships were seized by the Israeli Navy last night, in a statement by the Prime Minister’s Office.
“Well done to our Navy! I instructed to prevent the flotilla of Hamas supporters from arriving on Gaza’s shores. The task was carried out completely successfully. Not one ship or Hamas supporter arrived in our territory, not even in our maritime territory,” he says.
“They have been turned back and will return to their countries of origin. They will continue to watch Gaza on YouTube,” he says.
