Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the Navy for intercepting the latest Gaza flotilla, calling the operation a complete success. He said he had ordered forces to prevent what he described as a flotilla of Hamas supporters from reaching the shores of Gaza.

According to Netanyahu, no ship involved in the flotilla reached Israeli territory or territorial waters. He stated that all vessels were turned back and would return to their countries of origin.

Netanyahu added that those involved would now follow events in Gaza from afar, emphasizing that the mission achieved its objectives without any breaches of Israeli waters.
