The leaders of the Arab community are scheduled to sail into the Gaza Strip to break the Israeli imposed siege on the territory. Dozens of Arab leaders residing in Palestine will set sail Sunday from the Israeli port of Jaffa to break the blockade on the populated territory, Zahi Nujeidat, a spokesman for Israel's Islamic Movement said on Wednesday.
The regime has kept its border crossings with the coastal strip closed over the last month in response to 'rocket attacks by Palestinian factions'. It has blocked all food and fuel supplies to the territory which is home to 1.5 million people.
Nujeidat said the ship will take humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip 'to defy the government's blockade of the territory', the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Earlier this week, Israel prevented a Libyan Ship from reaching Gaza. The ship which was carrying three thousand tons of humanitarian and medical aid was stopped before entering the territory.
