Pro-Arab activist Prof. Jeff Halper said that the next "Free Gaza" boat ride to Gaza, in the next two weeks, may include a Knesset Member and other Israelis who support negotiating with Hamas. He told the Hebrew website NFC, "We are trying to prove our success was not a one-time affair."  

Halper was the only Israeli among more than 40 other activists who challenged Israeli sovereignty over Gaza's coastal waters. He also revealed that he will not be on the next boat because of a court order following his arrest at the Erez Crossing when he returned from Gaza.
