South Africa’s President
\nCyril Ramaphosa<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israel’s interception of
\nthe Global Sumud Flotilla was a “grave offence” against “global
\nsolidarity and sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in
\nGaza”.<\/p>\n

\nrelease South Africans and others,
\nincluding liberation hero Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Nkosi
\nZwelivelile Mandela.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Palestinian foreign ministry spokesperson condemned the interception of the flotilla as a violation of international law, asserting that Israel had neither authority nor sovereignty over Palestinian “territorial waters”.<\/p>\n
Colombian President Gustavo Petro<\/b><\/p>\n
“If this information is true, there is a new international
\ncrime by Netanyahu.”<\/p>\n
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim<\/b><\/p>\n
“By blocking a humanitarian mission, Israel has shown utter contempt not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The flotilla embodies solidarity, compassion and the hope of relief for those under blockade.”<\/p>\n
He said there were 23 Malaysians aboard.<\/p>\n
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/b><\/p>\n
“Pakistan strongly condemns the dastardly attack by Israeli forces on the 40-vessel Sumud Gaza flotilla.<\/p>\n

“The aid carried by the flotilla should be turned over to humanitarian organisations on the ground to be delivered safely into Gaza.<\/p>\n
“It is the responsibility of the Israeli government to resolve the atrocious humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa\u00a0 Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla was a “grave offence” against “global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-468971","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-united-states","9":"tag-us","10":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115305755724167355","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
