UM AL-FAHAM, (PIC)-- Sheikh Raed Salah, the prominent Muslim leader in the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands said on Thursday that the Israeli occupation authorities failed to stop international supporters and siege-breaking ships from coming to Gaza Strip.

He also pointed out that preparations were underway for sailing the "Freedom Flotilla 2" towards the besieged Strip, adding that the IOA bloody raid on the Freedom Flotilla tried to frighten and deter international supporters from sailing again to Gaza but failed to do so as thousands more expressed their willingness to participate in the new convoy.

He added that the blood shed by the Israeli navy on the ships has shaken the barrier of silence and embarrassed many countries participating in the siege as evident with the Egyptian government decision to open the Rafah crossing "till further notice".

If the blockade is broken Hamas will give priority to rockets rather than aid.

And then Israel will have to go back in and pummel the place yet again.

The plan is considerably different than that.
