"Israel" will attempt to block the Freedom Flotilla heading toward Gaza with humanitarian supplies, in an attempt to break the three-year blockade of the Gaza strip, forum of seven senior "Israeli" ministers decided on Wednesday.

The ministers decided that the ships would be directed to Ashdod by force if necessary.
The activists would be arrested and expelled from the country.

The Gaza-bound flotilla of eight ships, which left Turkey on Saturday, is carrying 10,000 tons of supplies, including building materials, which are not allowed into the territory because of the blockade.

Greta Berlin, one of the organizers, said the cargo ships are carrying cement, prefab homes, lumber, window frames, and paper for printing school books, children's toys, a full dentist's office, electric wheelchairs, and high-end medical equipment.

Pro-Palestinian activists, lawmakers from a dozen European countries, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and a retired US army colonel are among the passengers, Berlin stated.
