The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism has revealed that the organization "Sumud Flotilla" is recruiting foreign nationals and radical activists to travel to Judea and Samaria. The group, previously known for organizing sea voyages to Gaza with the support of Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg, is now shifting its focus to land-based operations.
The recruitment drive is timed to coincide with the olive harvest season. "Sumud Flotilla" is reportedly encouraging international citizens to come to the region to participate in activities explicitly framed as a protest against Israeli policies. The ministry alleges that the activists aim to exploit the agricultural period to instigate confrontations and create tension.
Avi Cohen-Scali, Director General of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, stated that Israel will not tolerate the actions of foreign agitators. He emphasized that the country will not become a platform for provocations and that any individuals arriving with the intent to destabilize the situation will be identified and prosecuted under Israeli law.
