An international aid flotilla is less than 399 nautical miles away from the Gaza Strip, and is expected to reach the enclave on Sept. 30, organizers said on Sunday, Anadolu reports.

“Time moves and flotilla moves with it — every minute takes Global Sumud Flotilla nearer to Gaza and the justice it deserves,” the coalition said in a statement on the US social media company X.

It shared a map showing the vessels’ route to Gaza, noting that there are only 399 nautical miles left to reach the blockaded territory.

According to Wael Naouar, a spokesperson for the flotilla’s Maghreb fleet, the boats are expected to reach Gaza on Sept. 30 or Oct. 1. There might be delays depending on the weather conditions, he added.

The Global Sumud Flotilla, made up of about 50 ships, set sail earlier this month to break Israel’s blockade on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid, particularly medical supplies, to the war-ravaged enclave.

According to a video shared by a Turkish activist onboard, a Greek Navy vessel has returned after accompanying the flotilla in international waters, as Italian and Spanish navies continue to provide protection for the activists on board.

“The only thing between us and Gaza right now is the sea,” Ross Ykema, an activist from the Netherlands, said in a video statement.

Since March 2, Israel has fully closed Gaza’s crossings, blocking food and aid convoys and deepening famine conditions in the enclave. Only limited supplies are sporadically allowed in, and many are looted by armed groups that Gaza authorities accuse Israel of protecting.

Israel, as the occupying power, has a record of intercepting ships headed to Gaza, seizing vessels, and deporting activists. Critics describe such actions as piracy.

The Israeli army has killed over 66,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to starvation and the spread of diseases.

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

‘Dozens’ arrested at Palestine Action protest outside Labour party conference

…

Police have arrested protesters on suspicion of supporting the banned group Palestine Action outside the Labour party conference in Liverpool.

About 100 people gathered silently on Sunday to hold signs reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”, according to protest organisation Defend Our Juries, who said there were dozens of arrests.

Palestine Action was banned as a terror organisation in July after it claimed responsibility for an action in which two planes were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire the previous month.

…

A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said: “We’ve come to remind everyone that the Labour party is in breach of its duty to act to prevent genocide under international law.

“Instead it made the cowardly decision to ban the direct action group that was trying to prevent genocide.

“Labour members and trades unions are overwhelmingly against their party’s complicity in genocide and the ban on Palestine Action.

“Yet party officials have shut down all the debates that members wanted to have on these issues during their conference.

 Timothy Crosland leaving the Old Bailey, central London, after his preliminary hearing, September 26 2025

A TRIAL date has been set for six people charged with allegedly organising mass gatherings against the ban on the group Palestine Action.

The charges related to plans for meetings in London, Cardiff and Manchester which were allegedly organised over Zoom in July, August and this month.

Former government lawyer Timothy Crosland, 55, from Southwark, south London; gardener Dawn Manners, 61, from Hackney, east London; David Nixon, 39, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire; student Patrick Friend, 26, of Grange, Edinburgh; Gwen Harrison, 48, from Kendal, Cumbria; and Melanie Griffith, 62, from Southwark, are accused of breaches of the Terrorism Act.

They are accused of allegedly arranging, managing or addressing meetings, knowing that the purpose was to support a proscribed organisation.

Each defendant spoke to confirm their names in the dock during a preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey today.

Nixon remained standing in the dock throughout the hearing with his eyes closed and holding a white banner with the words “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”

The defendants are alleged to be members of a group called Defend Our Juries, or to work closely with it, which opposes the ban on Palestine Action.

 Kneecap’s Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, speaks to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, September 26, 2025

Rapper Mo Chara cleared of all charges due to prosecutors’ ‘technical error’

RAPPER Mo Chara of the Irish-language group Kneecap was cleared of all charges today due to a “technical error” by prosecutors as the Belfast group accused the government of using terrorism laws to “discredit” free speech.

The 27-year-old, whose real name is Liam Og O hAnnaidh, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court today where he was cleared of his alleged support of a proscribed terror organisation during a concert at the O2 Kentish Town in November 2024.

…

Following the verdict, O hAnnaidh came out to an ecstatic crowd, saying: “This entire process was never about me.

“It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism — a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress.

“It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up.”

He added: “Your attempts to silence us have failed because we’re right and you’re wrong. We will not be silent.

“We said we would fight you in your court and we would win. Today, we have.

“If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it’s the British state. Free Palestine.”

How do Britons see Labour, ahead of their 2025 party conference?

Public largely see Labour in negative terms, with even Labour voters tending to not trust them in key policy areas

Labour’s annual party conference is kicking off this weekend in Liverpool. There is likely to be a very different tone to last year’s gathering, which was held in the aftermath of their landslide victory at the 2024 general election.

Now, just one in seven Britons (14%) approve of the government’s record to date, while seven in ten (69%) disapprove of Labour’s performance in office. This gives a net approval rating of -55, near identical to the final -56 rating for the previous government last July, just before the Conservatives lost power.

Even among Labour voters, a majority (53%) disapprove of the government, with just 29% feeling positively about the record of the government they elected.

…

Two thirds of Britons (66%) see Labour as out of touch, relative to just 14% seeing them as in touch, while the public believe it’s unclear what the party stands for by a similar ratio (65% vs 16%).

Furthermore, around six in ten Britons describe Labour as weak rather than strong (62% vs 9%), untrustworthy rather than trustworthy (61% vs 14%), and incompetent rather than competent (59% vs 17%). Labour are also twice as likely to be seen as serving their own interests (54%) than trying to do the right thing (25%), or caring about a select few (50%) instead of caring about ordinary people (23%).
