Qatari television station Al-Jazeera reported that the Freedom Flotilla from Turkey to the Gaza Strip was delayed for several days due to port procedures in Istanbul.
The flotilla, known as Marmara 2, includes humanitarian aid for the residents of Gaza and is made up of of three ships with 1,200 people from 30 countries on board.
It will set off 14 years after the Marmara incident in which nine Turkish citizens were killed and 10 IDF soldiers were injured when the flotilla tried to break through Israel's naval blockade of Gaza.
Joe Biden is expected to use Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wind down the war in Gaza, but in the waning months of his term the U.S. president may lack leverage to bend the Israeli leader to his will.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the Gaza war, was killed on Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.
Israel said on Thursday that Yahya Sinwar, the overall leader of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian group's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israeli soil, had been killed.
