Activists To Test Gaza Naval Blockade


"The purpose is to get into the Gaza harbor and breach the siege,"  
Godfrey-Goldstein said Thursday. "The IDF will probably stop us but  
part of the point is to show that Gaza is closed off."



She said that if the boats were stopped by the Israel Navy, they would  
likely remain at sea for a few days in an effort to get the government  
to change its policy and allow free access to Gaza by sea.



Such access is not allowed and the waters off the coast are patrolled  
by the navy, mainly due to weapons-smuggling from Egypt and other  
countries.
