Stockholm - The organisers of the "Freedom Flotilla" to Gaza said in Stockholm on Wednesday that they would make a new attempt to reach the Palestinian territory before the end of the year.
"We are going to send a flotilla if the siege is not lifted," Ship to Gaza Sweden spokesperson Dror Feiler told reporters after the group's meeting in Stockholm.
"We will go before the end of this year and we are quite sure that this flotilla will be bigger boats, it will be several passenger boats," he added.
"And as determined before, we will not accept Israeli control, we will not accept Israeli inspections and we will go to Gaza," he said.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition said in a statement it planned to enlarge the coalition "to include the various groups around the world that want to join us, as well as intensify our efforts to mobilise a new flotilla".
