JAMILA CHATITAH, PRESIDENT OF AMBASSADORS OF PEACE AND PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY FOUNDATION, SPEAKING TO REPOTER (Arabic) ZAWIYA, LIBYA - JUNE 10: The Maghreb Resistance Convoy, carrying hundreds of activists aiming to break the blockade on Gaza, has arrived in Zawiya, on Tuesday, June 10, its first stop in Libya. The convoy, comprising activists from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania, plans to proceed to Misrata, its next destination in Libya, after departing Zawiya. Consisting of 12 buses and 100 private cars, the convoy of more than 1,000 activists from North African countries set off from the Tunisian capital Tunis on Monday en route to the blockaded territory. Numerous activists from various countries are also slated to join the convoy in Cairo, arriving by land and air. Activists plan to cross from Libya into Egypt by Thursday before reaching the city of Rafah near the border with Gaza. The convoy comes a day after Israel intercepted a British-flagged aid ship bound for Gaza and detained 12 foreign activists onboard. As Israel has continued its closure of Gaza’s border crossings to humanitarian aid since early March, aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among Gaza’s 2.4 million population. The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 55,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war crimes against civilians in the enclave. Reporting by Hamza Al Ahmar // Writing by Mustafa Tuncer
