Israel repeated its invitation to the Liberty Flotilla 2 organization to unload its shipment in the Egyptian port Arish to be transferred by land to Gaza. Israeli Minister of Information Yuli Edelstein said Gaza's economic growth average reached 16 percent last year. Edelstein described the flotilla's trip as “provocative,” and he said that Israel is ready for all scenarios. The 2nd Liberty Flotilla is scheduled to leave for Gaza in two days, for the fifth year in a row, with the participation of 12 European countries. Arabic here
