FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post and found the claims to be Misleading.
A Reverse Image Search of the viral video traces it back to May 27, 2025, when it was uploaded by an Instagram handle — Footy Rage. As per its description, Galatasaray fans are celebrating the club’s 25th championship title in Istanbul with a boat procession across the Bosphorus bridge.
The official YouTube account of Galatasaray, a Turkish football club, also uploaded a different version of the same boat procession on May 26, confirming that the video was from the championship celebrations.
Reports in OneFootball (May 25, 2025) and Daily Sabah have also covered the celebrations, describing how hundreds of boats accompanied Galatasaray’s team yacht across the Bosphorus as part of the festivities.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show people from 44 countries have sent more than 50 boats to Gaza to break the “siege”, is Misleading.
