Is Greta Thunberg a Terrorist?
Israel Claims Recovered Hamas Documents Show the Gaza Flotilla is a Terror Front
Israeli military reveals recovered documents allegedly proving Hamas's direct involvement in activist flotilla heading to Gaza, implicating key organizers through terror front groups.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced today that documents recovered by IDF troops in Gaza purportedly confirm Hamas's "direct involvement" in an activist Greta Thunberg's flotilla currently sailing toward the Strip to challenge the Israeli naval blockade.
In a statement, the ministry claims the intelligence materials "show a direct link between the flotilla leaders and the Hamas terrorist organization," specifically through the terror group's foreign apparatus, the Palestinian Conference for Palestinians (PCPA).
PCPA: The Hamas 'Embassy' Abroad
The PCPA, established in 2018, was officially designated a terror organization by Israel in 2021. According to the ministry, it "functions as Hamas’ representative body abroad," operating under a civilian guise to mobilize actions against Israel, including "violent demonstrations, marches against Israel, and flotillas of protest and provocation."
The ministry released two documents allegedly corroborating the link:
Key Flotilla Organizers Implicated
Among the names cited is Zaher Birawi, head of the PCPA in the United Kingdom. Birawi is a recognized figure in anti-blockade efforts, known for organizing activist flotilla missions to Gaza over the past 15 years, including serving as a spokesman for the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident. The Foreign Ministry published photos showing Birawi with both flotilla activists and senior Hamas officials.
The ministry also claims that PCPA member Saif Abu Kashk in Spain is the CEO of Cyber Neptune, a company it describes as a "front company" that "owns dozens of the ships participating in the ‘Sumud’ flotilla." The ministry asserts Kashk’s involvement proves the 47 vessels are "secretly owned by Hamas."
The multi-vessel flotilla is currently positioned about 150 nautical miles from Gaza and is expected to reach the Strip in the coming days. IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin confirmed on Thursday that the Israeli Navy is prepared to intercept the boats, noting the sheer number of vessels presents a greater challenge than previous flotilla attempts.
