“Defense officials favor forcefully blocking two boats, which a group of U.S.-based activists plan to sail to Gaza ... A position paper by the Foreign Ministry's legal department says Israel has the right to use force against the demonstrators as part of the Oslo Accords ... the Foreign Ministry's paper means that security forces could detain the vessels upon entry to Gaza's territorial waters, arrest the passengers and haul the ship to Israel, where the detainees could be interrogated.”
Even a boat with humanitarian supplies is too much for the Israeli state - also, the above goes to show that the Oslo accords were not worth the paper they were written on. I recall Robert Fisk voicing his objections to Oslo - namely that it does not settle the issues of the right of return, halting the building of settlements, final borders or even control of coast or airspace
