Organizers of a previous flotilla to Gaza, which included climate activist Greta Thunberg, are now urging foreign activists to travel to the West Bank, specifically to Judea and Samaria, ahead of the olive harvest season. The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the Fight Against Antisemitism has warned of potential provocations during these planned visits. According to the ministry, the "Sumud Flotilla" organization is behind this new campaign, calling on foreigners to participate in events they describe as "confronting Zionism." The ministry believes the olive harvest period could be exploited to incite provocations and escalate tensions. The organization "Sumud Flotilla" gained prominence for its maritime action toward Gaza, with Thunberg being a notable participant. The ministry stated it will monitor the arrival and activities of foreign activists and that authorities intend to respond to any provocations within legal boundaries. "Israel will not be a stage for foreign anarchists. Anyone who arrives with the intention of provocation will be detected and brought to justice by all legal means," warned Avi Cohen Skalli, Director General of the ministry.
