In Israel and the Occupied Territories, a boat seeking to break an Israeli naval blockade has arrived in Gaza for the third time in two months. The Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire is among the twenty-seven passengers on board.

Mairead Maguire: “The message is that people around the world do care for Gaza. We are concerned what’s happening here in Gaza, and we hope that the blockade of Gaza will be lifted and that there will be an end of the occupation of Gaza and peace.”

The first sailing of the “Free Gaza” boats arrived in Gaza in August.
