The head of the Free Palestine Movement, Yasser Qashlaq, stressed that the Mariam aid ship to Gaza will depart as scheduled on August 29.
He told the daily Asharq al-Awsat Saturday: “There will be no backing down from the launch date and Cyprus has no right to refuse it entry to its port.”
“If the ship does not sail, regardless of the reason, I will reveal secrets and many surprises to the Palestinian people,” he added.
Furthermore, he denied that the sailing of the ship holds political connotations seeing as it coincides with the start of direct Palestinian-Israeli negotiations.
“If Israel refuses to allow us to enter medicine into Gaza, then we are in a peace joke, and Abbas should go into exile instead of beginning negotiations,” Qashlaq stated.
