    Katz said on Sunday that the blockade was essential to Israel’s national security as it seeks to destroy Hamas. “The State of Israel will not allow anyone to break the naval blockade on Gaza, whose primary purpose is to prevent the transfer of weapons to Hamas,” he said.

    Well, if that’s true (big “if” 😑), search the ship for weapons and let it through when you don’t find any.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, that would be a really obvious PR win for Israel that wouldn’t cost them anything. “Look at us, we’re not doing a genocide, we’re letting supplies through!” Once again, their bullheaded belligerence and vicious genocidal bloodlust wins out.
