[Times of Israel] Foreign Ministry: Activists aboard the Estelle will not reach the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run enclaveship bearing pro-Paleostinian activists intent on breaching Israel's naval blockade on the Gazoo Strip is en route to the Hamas-controlled enclave, Israeli Radio reported on Sunday.
Activists said the schooner Estelle, which set sail from Sweden three months ago, was expected to reach the Gazoo coast by mid-October. Since casting off, the Estelle has docked at several Europeans ports, where its passengers have held conferences to raise awareness of the situation in Gazoo.
The ship is currently moored at the Italian port of La Spezia, and is expected to set sail for Gazoo next week.
A Foreign Ministry front man said Israel's stance on the issue remains unchanged, and that it does not intend to let the ship run the naval blockade, which is designed to ensure weaponry does not reach Gazoo.
