US EditionWe Were So Close: Life After Conscience and the Abraham Accords
- On May 2, 2025, the Israeli military attacked the civilian humanitarian ship Conscience in international waters near Malta as it prepared to deliver aid to Gaza.
- The attack followed Israel’s continued blockade of Gaza since 2007, which has restricted essential supplies amid heightened regional tensions involving U.S. Support and Arab states' normalization agreements.
- The Conscience carried 30 crew members and activists, including food, water, and medicine intended for Gaza’s civilians, and was struck by drones targeting its generator, causing damage and fire before the crew’s safe evacuation.
- Many groups from Palestine and neighboring regions denounced the assault as unlawful and a breach of humanitarian principles, urging intensified international pressure, calls for boycotts, and intervention by the United Nations in response to what they characterized as aggressive actions backed by external powers.
- This incident highlights ongoing struggles to break Gaza’s siege, intensifies calls for an independent investigation, and underscores broader concerns about regional stability and humanitarian access.
