The Global Sumud Flotilla issued a statement reporting the civil interception of the mega ship MSC Maya in order to interrupt the supply chain to the State of Israel. It is a container cargo ship operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, bound for the ports of Ashdod and Haifa.Video provided by the GSF with the action on the MSC ship.

Beyond the appearance of commercial neutrality, There is increasing evidence of the Mediterranean Shipping Company's complicit role in the logistics of genocidal Zionism, using lesser-known routes and ports and even with sharing agreements with the Israeli national shipping company, ZIM.

The GSF integrated by civil activism, carries out complaints and actions that governments do not do with all the means at their disposal. Because, The first civil action of this type at sea is very important.

Longshoremen have been on the front lines of supply chain resistance for a long time., giving an example from the working class of different ports in Italy, from Barcelona and others. The global Boycott movement has also made it concrete, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS).

More than ever, We must surround Palestine and the Global Sumud Flotilla with solidarity, with actions on land, on the docks and in the factories linked to the murderous supply of weapons to the State of Israel and also in the streets, with mobilizations that demand the breaking of government relations with Israel and the impediment to the arrival of military supplies.
