00:00Can you explain the legal significance of the 120 nautical mile mark? Specifically with Israel
00:05talking about enforcing a closed military zone? From an international point of view, this is
00:10total nonsense because Israel has no... this is where the international waters end and Israel
00:18is claiming authority over that because there is a line of... there is a war according to Israel.
00:25Therefore, they are... the flotilla is entering an area, there is a combat zone, a conflict zone,
00:35so it's creating a security risk to Israel. But this is absolutely nonsense. Again, this is an
00:42imaginary line somewhat that Israel has set for itself. Because again, this is not the flotilla
00:51trying to enter Israel's waters, Israel territorial waters. This is Palestine's waters, not even Gaza,
01:00Palestine's waters. Israel has no authority over it. And therefore, there is... any intervention in
01:08these waters would be unlawful. It would be unlawful under the... we shall not forget that there is also a
01:15warning by the International Court of Justice that has ordered Israel to dismantle the occupation,
01:22meaning withdrawing the troops outside the occupied Palestinian territory, not just the territory,
01:27the land of Gaza, but also the territorial waters.
