Hamas sees Spanish and Turkish support for the Global Samud Flotilla
As Sign They Can Continue Hard Line
Dr. Aaron Lerner 30 September 2025

None of the world leaders who voiced their support for President Trump's
Gaza peace plan have changed their attitude towards the Global Samud
Flotilla, a collection of some 50 boats slated to approach Gaza soon.

The governments of Italy, Spain and Turkey are all actively participating in
providing support for the flotilla - though Italy says its stopping at 150 nautical miles from the coast.

These countries could have told the flotilla leadership last night that, In
the wake of Israel's acceptance of President Trump's proposal, they were completely withdrawing their support and urged the flotilla to accept the proposal to unload their aid in Cyprus to be delivered from there to Gaza via the
established channels.

That would have sent a message to Hamas that the tide has turned against
them.

Continued support for the flotilla also sends a message to Hamas.

A very destructive one.
