Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israel would not allow anyone to break their naval blockade of the Palestinian territory, which according to him aimed to prevent Hamas from importing weapons.

“I have ordered the IDF to act so that the ‘Madeleine’ flotilla does not reach Gaza,” Katz said in a statement from his office. “To the anti -Semitic Greta and her companions propagandists of Hamas, I will say it clearly: you should return, because you will not get to Gaza.”

He added: “Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockage or help terrorist organizations, in the sea, in the air and on land.”
