American Freedom News: Will Colombia Get a Fanatically Pro-Zionist President?

What is US Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar doing in Colombia?

Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) maintains a close relationship with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), marked by formal endorsements, legislative coordination, and significant campaign contributions.

Financial Tracking

According to campaign finance data from OpenSecrets and TrackAIPAC, Salazar has received substantial support from pro-Israel interest groups:
• Total Contributions: Since her first election in 2020, she has reportedly accepted over $166,000 from pro-Israel interest groups.
• 2023-2024 Election Cycle:
◦ AIPAC PAC: Directly contributed $10,000.
◦ Earmarked/Individual: Received approximately $23,600 from individuals associated with AIPAC.
◦ Pro-Israel Industry Total: Her total from the broader pro-Israel sector for this cycle reached approximately $83,785.

Endorsements & Advocacy
• AIPAC PAC Endorsement: AIPAC officially endorsed Salazar for her 2024 reelection campaign.
• Direct Engagement: In early 2025, she met with AIPAC advocates in Miami and Washington, D.C., to discuss strengthening the “unshakable” U.S.-Israel alliance.
• Legislative Alignment: Salazar has frequently partnered with House leadership to advance pro-Israel resolutions, including H. Res. 1117, which reaffirmed support for Israel following the October 7 attacks.

Critical Perspectives
Opposition groups like Track AIPAC—a grassroots organization that monitors the influence of the pro-Israel lobby—publicly track her voting record and contributions. They highlight her role in pushing pro-Israel resolutions while receiving PAC funding, often using the hashtag #RejectAIPAC to protest her legislative positions

Global Sumud Flotilla 2026

On April 30, 2026, Israeli naval forces intercepted and boarded portions of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) in international waters near the Greek island of Crete. The flotilla, which set sail approximately two weeks ago from ports in Spain, France, and Italy, was attempting to break the maritime blockade of Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

Key Details of the Interception
• Location: The raid occurred roughly 600 nautical miles (965 km to 1,110 km) from Gaza, near Crete. This is reportedly the furthest from its shores that the Israeli Navy has ever intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla.

• Vessels Affected: Out of a total fleet of 58 vessels, at least 22 boats were intercepted and boarded. Organizers report that the remaining 36 boats are still attempting to reach Gaza.

• Activists Detained: Approximately 175 activists were detained during the operation. Notable participants in the overall mission include Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, both of whom were also involved in a similar intercepted mission in October 2025.

• Tactics Used: Flotilla organizers and media outlets reported the use of military speedboats, drones, and communications jamming (including GPS and VHF emergency channels) during the raid. Activists claimed they were held at gunpoint and ordered to their hands and knees.

Official Responses
• Israel: The Foreign Ministry described the mission as a “PR stunt” and “provocation” by “professional provocateurs”. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated the operation was necessary to enforce the lawful blockade and that detained activists would be disembarked on a Greek beach later Thursday in coordination with the Greek government.

• Flotilla Organizers: The GSF denounced the action as “piracy” and “kidnapping on the high seas,” asserting that the raid occurred in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction. They also alleged that Israeli forces disabled boat engines and navigation arrays before leaving civilians stranded.

• International Reaction: Human rights groups like Amnesty International called for the immediate release of the crew, while activists in Athens planned protests outside the Greek foreign ministry.

Historical Context

This is the third major intervention by the Israeli Navy against the Global Sumud Flotilla. A previous attempt in October 2025 saw 40 boats intercepted and over 450 people detained and later deported. The use of force in international waters has drawn comparisons to the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, which resulted in several casualties.
