As part of the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing to break the illegal siege of Gaza, The Global Movement To Gaza Eire has participants who will sail as governments around the world fail.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) is a lawful, unarmed, peaceful civilian maritime mission delivering urgently needed medical and nutritional aid, opening a humanitarian corridor, and challenging Israel’s illegal blockade on Gaza. It is a coordinated international coalition with participants from 40+ countries; independent of any government or party; rooted in nonviolence and humanitarian purpose.
Coordinators, organisers, and participants from the Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, the Global Movement to Gaza, and the Sumud Nusantara, alongside members of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition*, have united under a common goal: to break the illegal siege on Gaza by sea, open a humanitarian corridor, and end the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
In support of the Irish delegation, and this mission ,we the people of Ireland are calling on the Tánaiste to
1. Support safe passage for Irish citizens on the flotilla and the opening and sustaining of a humanitarian corridor to being aid and food to Palestinians enduring forced starvation and genocide
2. Ensure diplomatic notes and active monitoring by DFAT/Embassies;
3. Provide immediate consular and public intervention should any Irish participants be illegally intercepted or detained
4. Sanction Israel - Use all levers of power available to the government to sanction Israel including implementing the OTB, supporting the arms embargo, and stop weapons travelling through our airports or airspace to end Ireland's complicity in the Genocide of Gaza

Why is this important?
The siege and genocide must end. The people of Gaza are relying on regular people like us all to keep going - for them. The Global Sumud Flotilla is a coalition of everyday people—organisers, humanitarians, doctors, artists, clergy, lawyers, and seafarers—who believe in human dignity and the power of nonviolent action.
