Founded in 2008, the Free Gaza Movement (FGM) is a coalition of groups and individuals seeking to “break the siege of Gaza” and “raise international awareness about the prison-like closure of the Gaza Strip.” At issue is the continuing naval blockade of Gaza that Israel -- in an effort to quell the Hamas-led terror campaign which was being conducted in the region -- put into effect in June 2007.
