The Israeli army is preparing for the arrival of the ship "Madeleine", which is heading to break the siege on Gaza.

An Israeli Army Radio correspondent reported on Tuesday that the Navy is preparing for the arrival of the ship "Madeleine," which set sail from Sicily bound for the Gaza Strip with the aim of "breaking the naval blockade imposed on the Strip."

The military stated that it is prepared and ready for a wide range of scenarios, which will be implemented based on instructions from the political level. The ship is expected to arrive in the region within the next few days.

For its part, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, an international non-profit organization, announced that one of its ships departed the Italian port of Catania on Sunday, bound for the Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian aid, after a previous attempt failed due to a drone attack targeting another ship in the Mediterranean.

The Madeleine is carrying volunteers, including climate change activist Greta Thunberg and Irish actor Liam Cunningham, and is carrying a limited but symbolic amount of relief supplies.

Another coalition vessel, the Consciousness - Global Conscience, was attacked by two drones near Maltese territorial waters in early May. The organization held Israel responsible for the attack, but Israel did not respond to requests for comment.

"We are doing this because no matter how difficult it is, we must keep trying. To stop is to lose our humanity," Greta Thunberg said at a press conference before the ship's departure. "However dangerous this mission may be, it is nothing compared to the danger of the world's silence in the face of the genocide of humankind."

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition emphasized that this voyage is not merely a charitable act, but rather a direct and peaceful action to challenge Israel's illegal blockade and escalating war crimes.

In the same context, the United Nations said on Friday that the situation in the Gaza Strip has reached its worst level since the war between Israel and Hamas began 19 months ago, despite the resumption of limited aid operations.

Under increasing international pressure, Israel ended an 11-week blockade of the Gaza Strip, allowing limited UN-led operations to resume.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the United States and Israel, began distributing aid on Monday, but the United Nations and international aid organizations have refused to work with it, deeming it impartial and using a distribution method that forces Palestinians to flee.
