Algiers-Tunis-Gaza:
A Caravan Breaks the World’s Silence

(June 10, 2025) — On June 9, 2025, an exceptional caravan named “Al Soumoud” set off from Tunis toward Gaza. Comprised of hundreds of vehicles and thousands of activists from Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, its goal was to break the Israeli blockade and make the voices of the Maghreb peoples heard.

This unprecedented movement is not only humanitarian: it is highly symbolic and political, marking a citizen mobilization on an international scale.

At the same time, the Israeli navy intercepted activist Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan at sea. Discover in this video the details of this historic mobilization, the activists’ testimonies, the international reactions, and the diplomatic challenges of this resistance caravan.

Global March to Gaza Activists
Detained by Egyptian Authorities

Organisers of the Global March to Gaza say that “hundreds” of foreign activists have been detained at Egyptian checkpoints, despite “not breaking the law” and having coordinated with authorities beforehand to obtain the “relevant permissions”.

German delegation spokesperson Melanie Schweizer says that, despite having been in contact with the Egyptian embassies in their home countries who were “very supportive and endorsing”, Egyptian authorities are now blocking the convoy.

According to the march organisers, some 4,000 people from over 80 countries have flown to Cairo to take part in the grassroots land convoy. They are calling on the international community to put pressure on Egyptian embassies to release those detained and allow them to continue their “peaceful” action to “break the Israeli siege” on Gaza.
