"There are two possibilities; the first is that Israel may intercept the flotilla to detain the organizers and sympathizers - which is an act of piracy under the international law, or the flotilla reaches its destination.
"If the Israeli government chooses to block the course of the aid convoy it will face a legal action at the Israeli high court or international courts," Prof. Petch said, adding that this possibility is unlikely to happen on the grounds that the flotilla posed no military threat to the Jewish state.
