GAZA, (PIC)-- MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular committee against the siege, said that the Israeli navy intercepted a few hours ago the Libyan aid ship 100 kilometers off Gaza shores and ordered it to change its course.
An Egyptian official said on condition of anonymity that his country received a request to allow the Libyan ship to dock at Al-Arish port.
The Gaddafi international charity and development foundation said it received a letter from the owner company of the vessel confirming the sustained pressures put on them up to now and added that the ship owner affirmed his rejection of the pressure, but he stressed he did not intend to enter into any confrontation.
Earlier, representative of the Gaddafi foundation Mashallah Zwei told AFP by satellite phone from aboard the ship that the Israelis had contacted the crew and threatened to send their navy to intercept and escort the vessel to the port of Ashdod, if they did not change their destination.
