Showdown.

JERUSALEM, July 17 (Xinhua) — Despite the recent Gaza-bound flotilla’s failure to set sail en masse from several Mediterranean ports, one of the boats left Greek territorial waters on Saturday evening, and headed to the coastal strip, with its crew saying they represent the whole flotilla.

The Dignite-Al Karama which reached the eastern Greek island of Kastellorizo on Thursday evening carrying a crew of pro-Palestinian activists is set to arrive in Gaza between Monday and Tuesday in a symbolic act of protest against what the activists called “Israel’s illegal blockade” on the Gaza Strip.

Aboard the vessel are six French activists, one Canadian, one Tunisian and one Swedish citizen, the Ha’aretz daily reported on Sunday. All of the other flotilla boats are still confined in Greek ports, two weeks after they had scheduled to set sail.

Three members on the small vessel participated in last year’s ill-fated Gaza flotilla, including one Greek national, who claimed he was brutalized by Israeli policemen, Ha’aretz reported.
