European MPs warn IOF of intercepting convoy to Gaza
Greek MP Giorgio Anastopoulos said that the ships are of European nationality and officially registered, and will be sailing in international waters. Israel has no right to intercept the ships and any such action will be considered international piracy.
“Legally, if Israel intercepted the ships, we can prosecute it in the courts of Europe,” Anastopoulos stated
A number of European lawmakers confirmed their intention to participate in a fleet of ships heading to Gaza next month to form a human shield against any Israeli attempt to attack them before reaching Gaza.
