The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the Fight Against Antisemitism has revealed that the "Global Sumud Flotilla" organization, which previously organized a flotilla to Gaza involving Greta Thunberg, is recruiting volunteers for a program in the West Bank. The initiative aims to provide presence and accompaniment to Arab communities in Judea and Samaria ahead of the olive harvest season. According to the ministry's National Situation Assessment Division, the program requires participants to stay for at least two weeks, undergo political and media training, learn "direct action" tactics, and commit to continued anti-Zionist political activity in their home countries. The organization's X account indicates that the application deadline is October 7, 2026. This effort joins other identified campaigns, such as Go Palestine, Protect the Harvest, and the International Solidarity Movement, which recruit activists for the West Bank. These programs frame their activities as "protective presence," with participants, some of whom fundraise for travel, receiving training for further organization in their home countries. The organizations acknowledge the possibility of denied entry by Israeli authorities and suggest alternative frameworks for those unable to enter via Israel. Avi Cohen Scali, Director General of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the Fight Against Antisemitism, stated, "The State of Israel will not serve as a playground for foreign anarchists. Anyone seeking to come here as part of an organized network aiming to provoke, disrupt order, and act against the State of Israel should know that Israel identifies them, locates them, and will act against them with all legal tools at its disposal."
