During a conference held in London on Sunday evening, Galloway said that his Lifeline 4 convoy would join other convoys coming from the Arabian Gulf and northern Africa to arrive at Gaza borders at the same time.

He noted that Viva Palestina would also be a key partner in the next Freedom Flotilla convoy.

The British activist underlined in his speech that Israel's deadly attack on the Freedom Flotilla that led to the murder of nine Turkish passengers exposed the Israeli occupation before the whole world more than ever before.

In a related context, the popular Egyptian campaign to break Gaza siege announced that it would send to Gaza on July 23 the convoy Freedom 2 after the first one was prevented from passing through the Rafah border crossing.

The campaign denounced in a statement on Monday the Egyptian authorities for its intransigent attitude towards Gaza convoys and for ignoring the political leadership's decision to open the Rafah crossing.
