ガザ封鎖海域を侵犯しようとしたリビア船、エジプトへ Israeli officials say a Libyan aid ship that was trying to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip will go instead to Egypt. But, Libyan organizers say the ship is still traveling to Gaza. The ship's captain told the Israeli navy by radio Tuesday that he would obey an Israeli order to sail to the nearby Egyptian port of El Arish. Israel's navy had told the ship's captain that he would not be permitted to land in Gaza. An official at the Libyan organization Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation confirmed the ship had been ordered by Israel to change direction or face a forceful takeover. But, Youssef Sawani said the ship is traveling to Gaza and would not obey the Israeli order.
