From the Dubai National - Free Gaza Movement is encouraging people in the UAE to provide a ship to join the next flotilla, sailing in September. Meanwhile Poland is extraditing to Germany an Israeli citizen accused of forging a German passport as part of the assassination plot against Palestinian leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
DUBAI // Huwaida Arraf, a key member of the Free Gaza Movement, said the group is raising money and organising for another and hopefully bigger flotilla that would cross the Mediterranean to Gaza.
“When we’re ready to announce, people will know about it,” she said. “But for sure it is going to be an escalation. I would love to see a boat from the UAE next time. We really want to see the Gulf, and I really would like to see the Emirates, get more involved.”
An American lawyer of Palestinian descent, Ms Arraf, 34, has been part of seven attempts to challenge the Israeli naval blockade of the strip, one of the most densely populated places in the world and home to 1.5 million people. more
