Israeli Navy Seizes Gaza-Bound Pro-Palestinian Ship

HeadlineJul 19, 2011

Israeli Navy commanders have seized a French ship carrying pro-Palestinian activists bound for Gaza. The French ship, Dignity al-Karama, set sail from Greece on Saturday. Among its 16 passengers were people from France, Canada, Greece, Sweden and Tunisia. The ship was supposed to be part of a large international aid flotilla to Gaza, but none of the other ships managed to leave port due to sabotage and interference by the Greek government.
