While boats battle to get through the siege of Gaza, Gazans can eat out in fancy restaurants and have no need of aid. That’s what Israel has been telling journalists, at least. Sherine Tadros picks apart the media campaign.
Re: Israel’s Gaza PR offensive
*Three boats that will form part of a flotilla hoping to break the siege of Gaza are due to leave a port in southern Turkey.
They are to link up with six other vessels off the coast of Cyprus, before heading to the Gaza Strip. But Israel says it will stop the flotilla before it reaches its destination - and arrest all on board.*
