A Gaza aid flotilla called the Global Sumud Flotilla plans to regroup in the Turkish port of Marmaris in the coming days, according to the organizers.<\/p>\n
Several boats have already arrived in the harbour town\u2019s bay, and further boats from Greece and Italy are on their way there, the activists said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Data from an online tracker provided by the organizers also showed on Thursday that the boats were heading towards Marmaris.<\/p>\n
It is unclear when the activists intend to set sail again from Marmaris towards the Gaza Strip with aid supplies. The organizers said that further information on the “next phase” of the campaign would be provided on May 12.<\/p>\n
Last week, the Israeli navy intercepted more than 20 ships from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters west of Crete and arrested 175 people.<\/p>\n
Greece took in most of them and helped them return to their countries of origin.<\/p>\n
Two activists were taken to Israel by the Israeli navy and detained there.<\/p>\n
Several EU states have expressed doubts about whether the interception in international waters was compatible with legal norms.<\/p>\n
Israel insists that the action taken against the activists was in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
