Israel calls on Egypt to block Soumoud convoys from heading to Gaza
Published June 12th, 2025 - 06:38 GMT ALBAWABA - Israel's defence minister on Wednesday urged the Egyptian authorities to block two pro-Palestinian activist convoys, called Soumoud (meaning steadfastness in Arabic), from reaching Gaza. Two convoys left from Algeria and Tunisia, and they will go through the lands of Libya and Egypt to break the siege imposed on Gaza, considering the fact that, unlike the Madleen ship, the convoys have no aid at all. "I expect the Egyptian authorities to prevent the arrival of jihadist protesters at the Egypt-Israel border and not to allow them to carry out provocations or attempt to enter Gaza," Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, said in a statement. The Israeli minister also said that such actions "would endanger the safety of (Israeli) soldiers and will not be allowed". © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Israel urges Egypt to block Gaza-bound activist convoy
JERUSALEM: Israel's defense minister on Wednesday called on Egypt to block a hundreds-strong pro-Palestinian activist convoy from reaching Gaza, as the group arrived in the Libyan capital of Tripoli. 'I expect the Egyptian authorities to prevent the arrival of jihadist protesters at the Egypt-Israel border and not to allow them to carry out provocations or attempt to enter Gaza — an act that would endanger the safety of (Israeli) soldiers and will not be allowed,' Israel Katz said in a statement.
