00:00Can you explain the legal significance of the 120 nautical mile mark, specifically
00:04with Israel talking about enforcing a closed military zone?
00:08From an international point of view, this is total nonsense because Israel has no,
00:13this is where the international waters end and Israel is claiming authority over that
00:20because there is a line of, there is a war according to Israel, therefore they are, the flotilla
00:30is entering an area, there is a combat zone, a conflict zone, so it's creating a security
00:36risk to Israel. But this is absolutely nonsense. Again, this is an imaginary line somewhat that
00:46Israel has set for itself, because again, this is not the flotilla trying to enter
00:54Israel's waters and 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 these
01:08waters 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.
