MEPs from Izquierda <\/span>Plural (IU-ICV-Agee), Podemos, Comprom\u00eds, EH-Bildu, Esquerra Republicana de<\/span> Catalunya and Moviment d’Esquerres en el Parlamento Europeo have demanded<\/span>\u00a0that the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs, Federica Mogherini, ensure<\/span> the protection of members of the Women’s Boat to Gaza flotilla, to the threats<\/span> of the Government of Israel and the possibility of an imminent assault on the expedition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Ms Mogherini, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,<\/em><\/p>\n

Between the 27th and the 29th of September the two sailing ships that form the Women Flotilla to Gaza left from the ports of Messina and Barcelona.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is yet another initiative against the illegal Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip that intends to denounce the dramatic situation of the Palestinian population in the area and draw attention to the humanitarian crisis the population keeps suffering since 2006.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the Flotilla there are women from thirteen different nationalities, including European citizens such as the Irish Nobel Peace Prize Mairead Maguire, the Spanish photographer Sandra Barrilaro, and Swedish and British citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n

If the State of Israel does not stop them, the Flotilla should reach Gaza this week, but Benyamin Netanyahu\u2019s Government has already ordered the Israeli army to approach the boat and stop it from reaching Gaza to show the solidarity of millions of citizens around the world. This threat seriously endangers the physical integrity of these women. It must be remembered that the first flotilla that tried to reach Gaza by sea in 2010 ended with the assault on the Turkish ship\u00a0Mavi Marmara\u00a0by the Israeli army, which resulted in the death of ten Turkish activists.<\/em><\/p>\n

For all this, we are writing to demand that the necessary arrangements and conversations with the Government of the State of Israel are started in order to protect the integrity of these women and to allow the free navigation of the boat until it reaches the Gaza Strip.<\/em><\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/em><\/p>\n
