Swedish climate activist Greta Samberg and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham will be taking part in the next sailing of the Freedom Friedal Union (FFC) that is trying to break Israel’s months of Gaza lockdown.
The “Madleen” comes from Catania, Sicily on Sunday with humanitarian cargo and several well-known activists on board, including European Lima Hassan and Palestinian-American lawyer Huwaida Alaf.
Cunningham, the Irish actor best known for his role as Davos Seaworth in the hit HBO series, is a longtime defender of a cause similar to Palestine.
Sailing marks the second attempt in months by the FFC, a coalition of humanitarian groups, to reach Gaza.
The mission in early May was aborted after another FFC ship, “Conscience,” was attacked on suspicion of two drones while sailing in international waters off the coast along Malta.
The FFC claims that Israel was the cause of the attack and severely damaged the ship’s front line.
