A coalition of activists said on Tuesday they would send a flotilla of ships to break Israel's siege of Gaza by the end of 2014, AFP reported.
"We plan to send the flotilla during 2014," the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which includes activists from at least 10 countries, said in Istanbul.
The statement was made at a joint conference hosted by the Turkish group IHH, which sponsored the first flotilla of ships carrying aid to Gaza that was raided by Israeli commandos in 2010.
The group did not give a specific date or an estimate on how many vessels or people would participate.
The IHH, which many believe has close ties with the Turkish government, is one of the members of the coalition, which includes groups from Greece, Norway and Sweden.
"It is a reflection of the growing worldwide solidarity with the Palestinian people, from the U.S. to Malaysia, from Scandinavia to South Africa," the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said.
The boats would sail at the same time from different ports around the world, carrying humanitarian aid as well as Palestinian commercial products, it added.

Ya, Israel will just be doing the environment a favor here.
I know, gave me a chuckle too.
Good. Time to correctly set the torpedo depth.
Shoot it down, Bibi, just shoot it down.
Some may not be happy to discover it yes. These, the one true (judeo -Christian) God may yet show some mercy. I don’t know, just speculating. Some Moslems have known it all along and serve satan willingly and even happily. (After all, it doesn’t take any genius to realize the true identity of their god when you read so evof what he says - and when you see what so many of his followers do to other human beings all over the world. We can know a tree by its fruits, after all.
If an Israeli drone flew over it & dropped one hand grenade down the hatch, there would be a monumental secondary explosion.
I’m amazed by the amount of money the ‘Progressives’ can get their hands on. For all the talk about income inequality, they make a lot of money.
The best bet as far as Israel is concerned would be to use some means to disable such ships at sea, outside of their territorial waters, while contracting with a neutral power to provide towing of disabled ships to a neutral port, as well as rescue services.
There are many ways to disable ships at sea, some of which would leave them dead in the water, and others that would inevitably cause them to be scuttled.
One of the easier ways, which could foul several ships in a flotilla, would be to provide drift nets to catch on their propellers. Such a foul usually requires port maintenance. And there are many abandoned drift nets found at sea, which would give Israel “plausible deniability”.
Of course ships believed to be carrying weapons could be sabotaged before they even left port so that while at sea they suddenly go boom. Other ships could be given fuel additives guaranteed to destroy engines. The list of such pranks is endless.
Their tree is very obviously a thorn bush
Palestinian commercial products?
Love it. Hope they do some of these..
A lot of it comes from places like the Ford Foundation.
Seems to me that if these organizations always support those against our nation, their funds should be vulnerable.
I’m not sure how you do that, or even if it is legal, but it is a form of treason IMO.
