Organizers of a "Global Sumud Flotilla" to Gaza, which included activist Greta Thunberg, are now recruiting international activists to come to the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) for the upcoming olive harvest season. This initiative was revealed by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism. Applicants must submit their candidacy by October 7, 2026.
According to information gathered by the ministry's National Situation Room, participants are expected to stay in the region for at least two weeks. They will undergo training in "direct action," alongside political and media preparation. The organization describes the activity as providing "accompaniment and presence" for Palestinian communities. However, they also urge participants to continue political activism after returning to their home countries, framing it as part of a "broader confrontation with Zionism as a political project."
The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs stated this is one of several international campaigns aimed at recruiting activists for the West Bank olive harvest. The ministry's Director General, Avi Cohen Scali, announced that Israel will take action against those arriving as part of an "organized system aimed at creating provocations." He added, "The State of Israel will not serve as a playground for foreign anarchists."
