PM Netanyahu: I instructed (Navy) to prevent a Hamas-supporting flotilla from reaching the shores of Gaza… They will continue to see Gaza on YouTube”

Israeli PM Netanyahu:

"Congratulations to our Navy! I ordered them to prevent the Hamas supporters' flotilla from reaching Gaza's shores. The mission was a complete success. Not a single ship and not a single Hamas supporter reached our territory, or even our territorial waters. They were turned back and will return to their countries of origin. They will continue to watch Gaza on YouTube." - Open Source Intel

Neither the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia nor Israel existed 2000 years ago.

Completely agree with President Trump’s assessment that the blockade of Iranian oil shipments is brilliant in concept and execution. The economic pressure on Iran is beyond real.

However, we can’t forget who we’re dealing with here. The regime could care less about its people and will continue to challenge President Trump and the world.

I still support a diplomatic conclusion to the Iranian conflict that will achieve the stated purpose of changing Iran’s behavior so it will never be able to acquire a nuclear weapon and will not be allowed to go back to its old ways of terrorizing the region and the world. Simply put, a diplomatic solution that makes Iran more normal and less crazy would be welcome.

A diplomatic solution does, however, require willing partners, which seems to be missing in the case of Iran. With that in mind, I would urge President Trump to strongly push to open the Strait of Hormuz to more international shipping, improving the world economy and reducing Iran’s leverage. If Iran continues to be provocative toward the world and the United States, we should never hesitate to use whatever military means necessary to neutralize this threat.

Ultimately, it is my hope that when we resolve the Iranian issue, we can go back to seeking peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel, the biggest prize in over 2,000 years. To secure nominalization between these two countries, it is imperative that Iran be put in a box, so they can never generate another October 7. I believe that goal is not only within sight, but it’s very close. - Lindsey Graham

‘Israel is once again violating international law by assaulting a civilian flotilla in waters that do not belong to it.

Our Government is doing everything necessary to protect and assist the detained Spaniards.

But that is not enough. The EU must suspend the association agreement NOW and demand that Netanyahu comply with the law of our seas.
