Greta Thunberg Joins Call to Release Hunger-Striking Gaza Flotilla Activists
Global Sumud Flotilla The four men are being held in a Tunisian jail, with one on the ‘brink of death’.
High-profile political leaders, artists, and activists – including Greta Thunberg – have called for the immediate release of four pro-Palestine organisers who are on hunger strike in a Tunisian jail, including one “on the brink of death”.
Wael Naouar was rushed to hospital yesterday after spending 40 days on hunger strike, according to the Gaza Sumud Flotilla (GSF), an organisation that looks to challenge Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza and deliver emergency aid by sea.
Alongside Thunberg, South African politician Zwelivelile Mandela, who is Nelson Mandela’s grandson, has also signed an open letter urging the Tunisian government to free Naouar and his three co-defendants. Both Thunberg and Mandela joined the same aid flotilla as Naouar last year.
Other signatories to the letter include Irish rap group Kneecap and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham. They are also calling for “urgent medical care” for the detained men.
The four were arrested in March after being accused of misusing funds raised for the organisation. He launched his hunger strike at Mornaguia prison to protest his detention and that of his fellow activists – Ghassen Henchiri, Ghassen Boughdiri and Nabil Channoufi, who began their strikes around two weeks ago.
Naouar is in a semi-comatose state, GSF said, adding that the Tunisian authorities have sought to impose an information blackout to prevent updates about his condition. Naouar’s father said he was close to death after visiting him earlier this week.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham admits to blatently lying and engaging in deception to become leader of the UK Labour Party and Prime Minister. Israeli army prepares for new phase of fighting in southern Lebanon: Report

[Ramiz Dallah – Anadolu Agency] The Israeli army is preparing to enter a new phase of fighting in southern Lebanon in the coming days, Israeli media reported on Friday.
The report comes as the army continues its attacks in southern Lebanon, in violation of a US-brokered framework deal signed with Beirut in June.
The army will reorganize its forces in what it called the “yellow zone,” including reducing and redeploying troops stationed along the line, Israel’s Channel 12 said.
In April, Tel Aviv announced it established what it calls the “yellow line” in southern Lebanon. It is an imaginary line separating an Israeli-occupied “buffer zone” from the rest of Lebanese territory, extending up to 10 km (around 6.2 miles) into Lebanon in certain sections.
Israel considers the area between the “yellow line” and the border a “security buffer zone,” while Lebanon rejects the continued presence of Israeli forces on its territory and insists on their withdrawal.

According to the outlet, the army is preparing to remain in the area for an extended period by establishing and completing a new line of forward positions.
The preparations also include continuing operations against what Israeli officials claim are Hezbollah members, the report said.
The Israeli offensive in Lebanon has killed at least 4,386 people, wounded 12,407 and displaced more than 1 million others since March 2, according to Lebanese authorities.
The attack comes despite the June framework deal that provides for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army there and the disarmament of Hezbollah.
