Meanwhile, two activists waiting at home to fly to Libya, where plan(A) is to join the convoy, have been told their flights are postponed, and are waiting, or looking, for alternatives.
At the same time, there has been a further delay in the departure of the Viva Palestina convoy to Gaza. Due to depart on the morning of the 18th, the convoy remains for the moment in Latakia, Syria. Convoy negotiators are in intensive discussions to try to resolve formalities which are still holding things up.
"Meanwhile the Israeli Defence Force has been making threatening noises concerning the "flotilla",which we assume means the boats ferrying the convoy to the Egyptian port of Al Arish. Convoy leaders reiterated they would not be deterred by any Israeli threats and intend to ensure the safe transportation of the medical aid to Gaza via Egypt and the Rafah Crossing at the earliest opportunity."
