Dear Mr. Hague
I draw your attention to the situation of the 750 volunteers presently assembling on the “Freedom Flotilla”, bound for Gaza with humanitarian supplies. Whatever differences of opinion we may have regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict, the safety of the volunteers some of whom are British citizens, is paramount. In this regard I am concerned about threats being made by the Israeli military.
Apparently an “Operation Sky wind” is being planned by the Israelis which will include the seizing of the “Freedom Flotilla” and the arrest of the people on it. As Israel has carried out similar acts of piracy in the past, this can’t be regarded as an empty threat.
I trust you will remind Israel of the legitimate restraints on all states, with regard to the freedom of shipping in international waters, and the waters of other countries.
Yours sincerely
