JERUSALEM — Ships carrying 10,000 tons of supplies and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to blockaded Gaza were being held up near Cyprus on Saturday, as organizers tried to get nearly two dozen high-profile supporters on board.
The flotilla was initially to set sail toward Gaza on Saturday and approach the territory today, about 24 hours behind schedule, said Greta Berlin, one of the activists.
Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, reiterated Saturday that the navy would intercept the ships.
