No humanitarian aid on the vessels, flotilla organizers publicly admit

The GSF social media account published a comment saying: “Breaking the siege on Gaza was not about aid. It was about breaking the siege on Gaza!”

Jerusalem, 3 October, 2025 (TPS-IL) — After Israeli authorities revealed that no humanitarian aid was found on any of the 44 Global Sumud flotilla boats, the flotilla organisers publicly admitted tonight that they misled the public.

Sharing a video of Israeli police spokesperson Dean Eldunne showing an empty yacht, the GSF social media account published a comment saying: ‘Breaking the siege on Gaza was not about aid. It was about breaking the siege on Gaza! So aid can flow to the 2 million people starving there!” The post went viral, with people stunned by the audacity of this admission.

Just 48 hours earlier, the same verified account had posted a comment after the flotilla was intercepted by the IDF, and this comment remains pinned to the top of their X account.

The comment reads: ‘Imagine sending 20 warships to intercept boats carrying milk powder and baby formula for starving children. This is the greatest evil in the world right now!!!!!”.

The interception caused strikes and violent demonstrations in Europe. The GSF later edited the post, adding the word ‘just’ to the sentence ‘It was not just about aid’, but did not explain what had happened to the ‘aid’ or why they posted the original message when they were accused of not carrying any.
