Gaza – Ma'an/Agencies – A ship loaded with humanitarian aid en route to Gaza from the Islamic Republic of Iran is scheduled to make landfall within hours, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry.

"We are intent on helping (people in Gaza)," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said on Monday.

"Our ship has passed through Port Said (Egypt) and is now about to enter the Gaza region to dispense the relief operation," he added.

It was not immediately clear how the ship expects to pass through the naval siege imposed on the Gaza Strip by Israel’s military.

Iran has repeatedly criticized Israel for its war on Gaza, as well as what the Islamic republic claims is Arab nations’ silence on the “atrocities” ongoing there.

[lone wolf]

I wonder who catches the blame if the Iranian-flagged ship is fired upon by Israeli gunboats?

 

[Colpy]

I wonder how many mortars, RPGs, and rounds of AK ammo are on board, bound for Hamas?????????

Either they let the Israelis search the ship very thoroughly, they turn back, or the Israelis sink her.

Don't you get tired of seeing monsters in every dust bunny under your bed?

That wouldn't happen to be the ship that made all those pirates sick, would it?

As many as a mosque, hospital or daycare can hold.

The Iranians are playing crocodile tiers, the motive is to get rid off the Jews.
Also the Iranian power ambition is to be the supreme rulers of the Middle East.
If the Iranians had a chance to set Israel on fire they would do it and blame the Israelis in deserving such punishment.
The Israelis would probably or already have boarded the ship to inspect it for
potential Hamas military supplies instead of humanitarian aid.
