Outsourcing the Gaza blockade - Inside Story - Al Jazeera English

Outsourcing the Gaza blockade - Inside Story - Al Jazeera English: "The Greek Coast Guard has arrested the captain of a boat headed for Gaza. The Audacity of Hope - the flagship vessel in a flotilla delivering aid to Gaza - was carrying 3,000 letters of support for Palestinians.

The ship set sail on Friday defying Greece's ban on all ships heading to Gaza leaving their ports. Greek authorities accuse it of setting sail without permission and endangering the lives of passengers.

So, is Israel outsourcing its blockade to Greece? And does the move signal a shift in relations between the two countries?"
