Netanyahu to passengers of the flotilla: "you're on the wrong way to Syria"

"Welcome to Israel!" Thus begins the letter from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will receive the passengers of the boats that make their way from Greece to the Gaza Strip, and are expected to reach the coast of the country tomorrow (b) in the morning at around 4:00.

The ships are not limited to: MK Basel Ghattas, a former Israeli named Dror Feiler, a former Tunisian President Al-Marzouki, and other human rights activists. On the boat "Marianne" is also a Channel 2 news reporter Ohad Hemo.

Apparently the ships will not arrive on their own to the shores of Israel, and arrested by the navy, as happened in the past. "It appears you made a mistake on the way," the report said. "Maybe you meant to sail to a place not far from here - Syria. There is massacring by the Assad regime every day against his people and was supported by the murderous regime of Iran. In contrast, here in Israel, we are dealing with a situation in which terrorist organizations such as Hamas, are trying to harm innocent civilians. To counter these attempts we defend the citizens of Israel in accordance with international law.

"Nevertheless, Israel is helping the transfer of goods and humanitarian supplies into Gaza - about 800 trucks a day, introduced last year, more than 1.6 million tons of goods. On average a ton of equipment to every resident in the Gaza Strip. Incidentally total equipment coming from Israel to Gaza considers the contents of more than 500,000 boats like that you came with. Israel is helping hundreds of humanitarian projects through international organizations, including the establishment of clinics and hospitals.

"Besides that, we are not prepared to allow the smuggling of weapons to terrorist organizations in Gaza like in the past through the sea. Only a year ago we had foiled an attempt to smuggle through the sea hundreds of weapons intended to harm innocent civilians. There is no closure on the Gaza Strip, and you are welcome to pass through Israel all humanitarian aid. Denial of entry by sea is carried out in accordance with international law and received backing from committee of the UN Secretary General. If human rights really interest you, you would not sail to identify with a terrorist regime who executed Gazans without trial, and using children in Gaza as human shields.

"If you come to Israel you can only be impressed by the only democracy in the Middle East which takes care about equality for all its citizens and freedom of worship for all religions. Country which acts under international law to allow safe life for its residents and their children to grow up in peace and quiet," concludes the letter.
