(Substack) Jonathan Sacerdoti - The latest Gaza flotilla is nothing more than a Hamas-led provocation, carefully orchestrated to create confrontation at sea under the cover of "aid." Hamas leadership is pulling the strings. Most passengers have no idea they are sailing under the command of a terror organization. Key organizers are senior Hamas operatives in Europe. One heads a Hamas-affiliated body abroad and runs a shell company in Spain which owns some of the vessels. Another, operating out of London, has been designated by Israel since 2012 as a senior Hamas activist. This is not a grassroots civilian initiative, it is a Hamas operation, pre-planned, coordinated, and unlawful. This flotilla is about provocation. Its purpose is confrontation with Israel, to break a lawful naval blockade and provide Hamas with a propaganda victory. A blockade must be enforced uniformly. Any exception risks undermining the entire operation. This is why Israel cannot and will not allow Hamas's flotilla to pass. The writer is a British broadcaster, journalist, and TV producer.
