The "Free Gaza" movement will take to the water again on Friday when its pro-Palestinian Authority Arab activists launch another voyage from Cyprus in the afternoon hours.

According to a statement posted on the group's website, 11 current and former members of the European Union parliament will be on board for this, the movement's third trip to Gaza, in addition to journalists from Al-Jazeera and The Independent.

The Israeli government has not yet determined a course of action regarding how it intends to deal with the issue of foreign vessels entering Gaza waters without Israeli authorization.
