The Trump administration denounces a politically motivated initiative and warns against any logistical or diplomatic support for this maritime operation. In a statement, State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that “the United States condemns the flotilla, a pro-Hamas initiative which constitutes an unfounded and counterproductive attempt to undermine President Trump’s peace plan.” He also specified that the United States’ allies were called upon to “take decisive action against this insignificant political maneuver by refusing access to ports, docking, departure and refueling to ships participating in the flotilla.” According to Israeli authorities, the intercepted activists will be transferred to Greece and not to Israel. This new attempt is a continuation of the Sumud Global Flotilla organized in 2025, during which several hundred participants, including Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, were arrested at sea and then expelled after their transfer to Israel.
