We know the occupation is working with armed gangs inside Gaza that steal aid, would it be in Israel’s interests to allow the boat to dock but then use its internal gang proxies to raid the boat and terrorize the volunteers?
I don’t mean to be a downer, I just can’t imagine Israel will allow the siege to be broken.
I’m also constantly curious why they don’t just let these boats land to make it appear like they’re not withholding aid then have the gangs steal it and blame it on Hamas. Most States would be able to point to that and say they were successful in pressuring the Zionists to allow entry of aid, which would be a win for Zionist allies and a PR win for the Zionists.
I’m guessing they keep stopping the boats to appeal to Zionists at home which want the cruelty, maybe some even truly believe Hamas is stealing the aid when those stories publish so they want Netanyahu to stop the boats to prevent Hamas from getting aid. I think it must be due to domestic pressure, because it would be a win internationally.
Now that the ship has been intercepted I think you’re right. There are domestic interests that would revolt if the ship was allowed to land, even if Israeli aligned gangs stole all the aid. It’s not enough to starve the people, Israelis demand the spectacle.
