According to Israel, the aid flotilla has Hamas links and claims to have proof of the same, which it gathered during the operations in Gaza. Israel, as reported by the Times, also showed a letter from 2021 signed by now-deceased Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Israel also showed a second document, which was an alleged list of the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) to which Haniyeh addressed the 2021 letter. The list names Zaher Birawi as one of the PCPA employees, who has Hamas links, as per Israel and is a key person behind the Global Sumud Flotilla.
