Worthless? Expired meds are better than no meds and old equipment can still still be useful. Sounds like someone is covering their butt.
They should just sink the next few ships, put an end to this game.
The usefulness of the cargo is a tangential issue at best. What is at the heart of the matter is this...
“Does Israel have the right to keep an arms embargo over Gaza?”
If accept that they have that right, then the value of the cargo is immaterial. If you suggest that they do not have that right, then AGAIN the value of the cargo is immaterial.
The principle is that if they allow uninspected ships to unload in Gaza, arms will be shipped to Gaza. The actual presence of arms in this shipment is immaterial to the principle.

Expired meds are NOT always better than no meds, and indeed might amount to nothing more than a placebo where people think they are getting the real deal.

It was probably all the recent medications pulled of the shelves of US drugstore
