ISRAEL WILL NOT ALLOW LEBANESE AID VESSELS TO DOCK

Israel will not allow two humanitarian aid vessels leaving the Lebanon to dock in Gaza. In a letter sent to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Ambassador Gabriela Shalev explained that her country reserves the right to prevent the vessels Junia and Julia from accessing Gaza, since “it is their intention to run the blockade”. “One cannot exclude,” added the ambassador, “that these vessels are leaving with the intention of provoking Israel.” .
