Workers load supplies on to a cargo ship at the Lavrio port, about 60 kilometers (37miles) southeast of Athens, Friday, July 9, 2010. The Moldova-flagged cargo ship Amalthea is commissioned by a Libyan state charity organization made preparations Friday to set sail to Gaza from Greece loaded with aid. (AP Photo/Thanassis Stavrakis)AP - A Libyan boat carrying supplies for Gaza was sailing toward Egypt late Tuesday instead of trying to run a naval blockade of the Palestinian territory, Israeli military officials said, apparently defusing a potential confrontation on the high seas.
