Civilian convoy in overland bid to break past Israel blockade (The Continent, 2025-06-15)

———

>> A self-funded convoy of lawyers, doctors, farmers, students and families is winding its way overland across North Africa, heading east from Tunis to Egypt’s Rafah border crossing. Their goal is to break Israel’s siege of Gaza. In the Caravan of Steadfastness are over 1,000 Tunisians and nearly 200 Algerians.

>> … authorities across the region have cracked down on people who have rallied in solidarity with Gaza, or criticised Israel’s war.

>> On Thursday, the convoy was blocked by authorities in eastern Libya, forcing them to camp overnight in the desert ... Egypt’s foreign ministry put out a statement saying that any delegation seeking to approach Rafah needs visas, and to co-ordinate with authorities. Israel’s defence minister also said that if Egypt doesn’t block the convoy, the Israeli army will.
