This comes as an effort to counter the anti-Israeli Freedom Flotilla campaign trying to break the siege on Gaza and to strike and weaken international solidarity with the strip.
The ship is carrying the name of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas in Gaza,"with the participation of a number of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim peace activists, politicians, and people in media," the radio added.
This campaign is organized by members of a pro-Israeli Christian society, and members of the Jewish community in the Netherlands, besides Dutch intellectuals.
The organizers informed the Israeli Embassy in the Netherlands of their planned journey to Israel.
