Israel may allow ships to violate the naval blockade on Hamas by entering Gaza, according to media reports Tuesday. Ships would be allowed to enter only after submitting to a thorough search conducted by Israel and a third party.

Previously, far-left and Muslim activists have made multiple attempts to enter Gaza with “flotillas” that are allegedly carrying aid, but in fact, are not bringing any needed supplies. One flotilla attempt ended in violence as armed passengers attacked IDF soldiers aboard the Mavi Marmara.
