Moroccan Flotilla Heading To Gaza in the Next Few Days

8 July 2015

 - Tunisian ex-president Moncef Marzouki said Tuesday that a Moroccan flotilla will be heading to the Gaza Strip within a few days.

Marzouki reached Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris Tuesday morning after he was arrested by Israeli forces on Sunday night. Marzouki was forced to Paris on Tuesday.

Marzouki, according to news reports, described what the Israeli navy did to the flotilla as “piracy which won’t stop us from supporting the Gaza Strip.”

On Monday, Israel deported Tunisian ex-president Moncef Marzouki and European parliament member Ana Miranda after they took part in a flotilla seeking to defy its Gaza blockade, an official said.
