An organization that previously organized a Gaza flotilla, in which activist Greta Thunberg participated, is now targeting the West Bank for a new provocation. The "Global Samoud Flotilla" is reportedly recruiting foreign activists for the upcoming olive harvest season, with an application deadline of October 7. Participants are expected to stay in the region for at least two weeks, undergoing training in "direct action" alongside political and media preparation. They are also required to commit to continued political activism upon their return to their home countries.
This initiative is part of broader campaigns to enlist international activists for the harvest season, with various organizations framing their activities as a "protective presence" alongside Palestinians. The Diaspora Affairs Ministry views this as an attempt to build an international network of activists.
Avi Cohen-Scali, Director General of the Diaspora Affairs Ministry, stated that Israel will not serve as a playground for foreign anarchists. He emphasized that the state will act against anyone arriving as part of an organized effort aimed at creating provocations and disrupting order.
