The “interception, carried out outside Israeli territorial waters, constitutes a blatant violation of international law, including maritime and humanitarian law.”
“Co-Chair of The Left, Manon Aubry (La France Insoumise, France) said: “Netanyahu’s army has intercepted the Freedom Flotilla against a backdrop of deafening silence from political leaders in Europe and the world. History is watching them. Their inaction to end the genocide is nothing more than complicity. We demand immediate action from European authorities to guarantee the safety of the crew and allow humanitarian aid to enter.”
The Left calls upon states, the European Union, the United Nations, and the entire international community to strongly condemn this illegal detention, demand the immediate and unconditional release of all crew members, and urge Israeli authorities to allow immediate and unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza, in full compliance with international law and the orders imposed on Israel by the International Court of Justice.
#Solidarity is not a crime, €genocide is. Free the #FreedomFlotilla crew.”
