The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) is an activist group that campaigns on and off the water to end Israel's Gaza blockade, and for freedom of movement for all Palestinians.[1]
The FFC organises annual blockade-busting aid-carrying vessels that are routinely intercepted by the Israeli Navy and taken to the port of Ashdod.[2] The aid is unloaded there and the crew, amongst whom are celebrities such as Greta Thunberg, are then deported to their home countries.[3]
Handala
The FFC's latest aid-carrying vessel on its way to Gaza is the Handala (registry name Navaren). The Handala's journey can be tracked here.[4]
Illegally boarded
On 27 July 2025, Craig Murray posted on X:
- "The Handala @GazaFFlotilla is the second vessel flying the Red Ensign to be illegally boarded by Israel while Starmer and Lammy do nothing.
- "It shows yet again their slavish devotion is to Israel, not to the UK."
Commentator: "The next ship should be called, 'Britannia Rules The Waves'.”[5]

Of course it failed. Is the problem incompetence, or is it again security service influence?" |
