Italy’s Meloni says Gaza flotilla risks escalation, could ‘blow up' potential ceasefire deal


Meloni warned the flotilla is intended to destabilize Trump’s peace plan, stating on X, "The truth is simple: those aids can be delivered without risks … Insisting on wanting to force a naval blockade means making oneself- Knowingly or not- instruments of those who want to blow up every possibility of [a] ceasefire. The Trump administration has framed its 20-point plan as the path to both ending the war in Gaza and securing the release of Israeli hostages, but the flotilla could shift the narrative back toward confrontation. The Global Sumud Flotilla describes itself as a "multinational civilian effort to break Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza," saying the flotilla is the largest attempt to date to break Israel’s maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has now lasted 18 years.
