The organization behind the flotilla to Gaza, which included climate activist Greta Thunberg, is now recruiting foreign activists to travel to the West Bank for the upcoming olive harvest. The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism revealed that the "Sumud Flotilla" organization is actively seeking foreign activists and anarchists to come to the region. These activists are being encouraged to participate in activities presented as part of a "confrontation with Zionism."
The ministry warns that the initiative aims to exploit the olive harvest period to create provocations and friction on the ground. This follows the "Sumud Flotilla" organization's previous international activities, including the Gaza flotilla that gained significant attention partly due to Thunberg's involvement. The organization is now shifting its focus to the West Bank, attempting to enlist international activists for a campaign in the area.
Avi Cohen Scali, Director General of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, stated, "Israel will not be a playground for foreign anarchists. Those who come to create provocations will be identified and dealt with using all legal tools."
