VIDEO: PressTV report, 12 June 2017
PressTV journalist Mona Kandih reports from Ramallah that Israel is set to build the highest number of settler units since 1992.
She adds that “Palestinians here say that these developments indicate that Israel is moving towards complete annexation of the occupied West Bank.”
In 2018 the Freedom Flotilla Coalition plans to organise another international peace flotilla to challenge Israel's illegal 10 year naval blockade of Gaza.

Roger Fowler teaching Kiwi-English at Al Aqsa University, Gaza City.
In June 2012, Kia Ora Gaza sent a four-person team to Gaza as part of an international aid convoy. Our Kiwi convoyers were (from left) Roger Fowler, Tali Williams, Gibran Janif and Hone Fowler. This land convoy, which left from Cairo, delivered ten tonnes of urgently needed medical supplies to health authorities in Gaza. In November 2012 Kia Ora Gaza sent Roger Fowler on a fact-finding mission to Gaza (see his reports posted Nov-Dec 2012 on this website). UK documentary-maker Harry Fear joined Roger on a speaking tour of NZ on his return.
In November 2010, six volunteers from Kia Ora Gaza joined an international land convoy which delivered NZ$7 million in medical aid to Gaza. The convoy, which left from London and was joined by other columns from North Africa and the Middle East, arrived at night in Gaza City to a rapturous welcome from Palestinian throngs.
