The Israeli military has closed 13 boats with foreign workers and Gaza -bound assistance, but 23 boats are traveling to the devastating Palestinian Enclave, Flotilla organizers said.
In a video of the Reuters Israeli Foreign Ministry, Flatella’s passengers, the most prominent in the Swedish climate campaign, are shown in the Greta Thonberg, sitting on a deck around the soldiers.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said on the X, “Several ships of Hamas Samud Flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transported to the Israeli port.”
Global semodiats contain more than 40 civilian boats, which contains about 500 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and workers, in delivering medicines and food to Gaza.
Flotilla presented several videos on the telegram, which contains messages of people in various boats, some have their passports and claimed that they have been abducted and taken to Israel against their will, and reiterated that their mission is a humanitarian cause.
Flotilla is the highest symbol of Israel’s opposition to Gaza’s blockade.
Its progress in the Mediterranean gained international attention when countries, including Turkey, Spain and Italy, sent boats or drones to their citizens in the event of need for help, until it gave rise to repeated warnings from Israel.
‘Hard attack’
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has strongly condemned the recent Israeli attack on Samud Gaza Flotilla, calling it a “terrible” act.
The premiere wrote on the X-handle, “Pakistan” strongly condemns Israeli forces’ abusive attack on Gaza Flotilla, in which more than 450 human workers were taken from 44 countries. “
The Prime Minister expressed concern for the arrested, “We hope and pray for the protection of all those whom Israeli forces have illegally arrested and demanded immediate release.”
“Their crime was to take help for the Palestinian people.”
He added, “This barbarism must be eliminated. Peace must provide opportunity, and humanitarian aid should reach the needy.”
Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq termed the intervention of global Somod Flotilla and the detention of international workers a “clear violation of international law”.
He immediately called for a ceasefire, raising the blockade, releasing workers rapidly and demanding help to Gaza without interruption.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry called Israel’s “attack” on Flotilla a “terrorist act” that endangered the lives of innocent civilians.
Colombian President Gustao Petro ordered the deportation of a entire Israeli diplomatic delegation after the detention of two Colombian people in Flotilla on Wednesday. Israel was not an ambassador to Colombia since last year.
Petro called the Datients a potential “new international crime” through Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded the release of Colombian. They also terminated Colombia’s free trade agreement with Israel.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Thursday condemned Israeli intervention about Flotilla, adding that the Israeli army has detained eight Malaysian.
Anwar, whose country is primarily a Muslim, said in a statement, “By blocking humanitarian mission, Israel has shown blasphemy not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world.”
The intervention of Israel’s Flotilla gave rise to protests in Italy and Colombia. Italian unions made a public strike on Friday to express solidarity with international aid Flotilla.
The Israeli Navy had earlier warned Flotilla that it was approaching an active combat zone and violating halal blockade, and asked them to change the course. It offered to transfer any assistance to Gaza through safe channels.
23 boats traveling to Gaza
Flotilla is the latest level of effort to break Israel’s Gaza blockade, most of which have turned into barren land for almost two years of war.
Flotilla organizers condemned the raid on Wednesday as a “war crime”. He said the army used aggressive tactics, including the use of water cannons, but no one was harmed.
The organizers said in a statement, “Several utensils were illegally stopped and were riding on Israeli occupation forces in international waters.”
The boats were about 70 70 miles away from the war -hit enclave when they were stopped, within the zone in which Israel is pollys to prevent any boat from approaching. The organizers said their communication has been rotated, including the use of camera feed directly from some boats.
According to Flotilla’s ship tracking data, 13 boats were stopped or stopped by Thursday. The organizers are notorious, saying in a statement that Flotilla “will continue without interruption”.
In a post on Telegram early Thursday, Flotilla organizers said that thirty boats were still moving towards Gaza, saying they were 46 miles away from their destination.
Flotilla hoped to arrive in Gaza on Thursday morning if he was not stopped.
Israeli officials have repeatedly condemned the mission as a stunt. Israeli ambassador to Italy, Jonathan, said in a post on X, “This organized denial (to hand over aid) shows that its purpose is not humanity, but provocative.”
Israel has imposed a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas took control of the coastal enclave in 2007, and several efforts have been made by workers to provide sea assistance.
In 2010, nine workers were killed after Israeli soldiers boarded a flotilla of six ships under 700 Palestinian workers from 50 countries.
In June this year, the Israeli naval approaching Gaza was detained by a small plane organized by a Palestinian group called the Flotilla Alliance and 11 members of the crew.
Israel began Israel after October 7, 2023, following the Hamas -led attack on Israel, killing about 1, 1,200 people and hosting 251 hostages in Israel’s Hamas -led attack. Gaza health officials say more than 65,000 people have been killed in Gaza in the aggression.
