If their goal is to get aid into Gaza, they can join the many international mechanisms and organizations that are sending in dozens and hundreds and hundreds of truckloads of aid

into Gaza every day through pre-approved mechanisms and they don't need to do a theater, a media stunt like this flotilla in order to do this.

Nowhere else in any international conflict

Can anyone try or would anyone think to break a naval blockade on a war zone, on an active war zone?

And so if their goal is aid, there are much better ways because aid is getting in every single day through approved mechanisms.

Half the Arab world, the United States, the UN, everyone is sending in aid.

Israel is allowing it, Israel is coordinating, Israel is facilitating it.

That's not the issue.

We saw that happening.

Because the UN mechanisms were completely infiltrated and controlled by Hamas, and all of those, the supposed aid was going straight to Hamas, who was then selling it at 10 times the price.

to impoverished Gazans.

And so you can criticize the US mechanism, the Global Health Fund, if I recall the name correctly, you can criticize its effectiveness, did it work or not, but the intent is

was how to get aid actually to the Palestinian civilians and not to the Hamas thugs who were appropriating it by force and then selling it at 10 times the price to impoverished Gazans.

So what this flotilla is about, let's not forget, this is a media stunt.

Should Israel... And by the way, the Israeli Navy handled it with absolute professionalism.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry handled it with absolute professionalism.

And it's a shame that a populist politician... But how can you say...

So again, let's differentiate.

The entire flotilla is a media stunt caused to push this issue constantly into the media, to not actually get aid to the Palestinians.

It's a media stunt caused to embarrass Israel.
