"Freedom Flotilla II will be carrying surprises to the Israeli side," said the statement, adding one of these surprises is that seven European vessels would join the flotilla which will be bigger than the 1st flotilla."
The European Campaign also said that its office received thousands of applications for activists and campaigners who want to join and sail to the Gaza Strip "to break the Israeli siege."
