Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.

~~While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:~~

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.

Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689

According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized "all but one" of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

Update:

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel "Mikeno" was seized by the Israeli Navy.

The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The "Mikeno" made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

Well here is one more wikipedia link for you to consider

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas

Assuming that you are not arguing in bad faith and not full of bs, you can not defeat a fascist dictatorship while trying to wash away the murder and blood of another one. Unless tolerance for fascist dictatorships are completely eradicated from the world, there will always be a next one waiting to prey on weaker countries.

But I don't have much faith for a discussion with you. Given that you equate criticism of Israel with support of Hamas or not caring for Sudanese genocide, I am almost 100% sure you are discussing in bad faith. If you really cared about Ukraine or Sudan, you would also care about the same terror being forced onto Palestinian children and civilians.
