Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists taking part in a convoy crossed the Tunisian border on Tuesday into Libya, aiming to keep heading eastwards until they break Israel's blockade on the Palestinian territory, organisers said. This comes after Israel intercepted an aid ship attempting to breach its blockade on Gaza, which was carrying 12 people, including campaigner Greta Thunberg. FRANCE 24's Selina Sykes has more.

"A Show of Human Solidarity": Ex-U.S. Diplomat to Join Global March to Gaza to Break Israel's Siege

Activists from around the world are planning a Global March to Gaza on June 15 in support of Palestinians enduring the Israeli blockade. The first Biden State Department diplomat to publicly resign over Gaza policy, Hala Rharrit, plans to attend the march along with thousands of others who will walk from Cairo to the Rafah border. "Silence does not ensure that we will be OK," says Rharrit. "It's quite the opposite. Silence ensures the injustice spreads." Rharrit had served as the Arabic-language spokesperson for the State Department. She joins us from Dubai as she prepares for the march.

 

Global Movements to Break Siege on Gaza

Drop Site is joined by two key organizers of the Global March to Gaza: Melanie Schweizer, a German lawyer and activist, and Saif Abukeshek, a Palestinian activist based in Barcelona and the lead organizer of the March.

We’ll break down what the march is, what it hopes to achieve, and how it fits into the growing international movement to end the blockade of Gaza. Plus, we’ll share the latest frontline reporting from our Palestinian colleagues on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank, and discuss key developments from the past week.
