Israel raided the Global Sumud Fleet, which was bringing aid to Gaza. The fleet, which approached very close to Gaza, faced the obstruction of Israeli soldiers. Communication with the fleet was completely cut off.
FOREIGN MINISTRY: "ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON SUMUD IS AN ACT OF TERRORISM"
Reactions from Turkey to Israel came in quick succession. In a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the following was stated: "The attack carried out by Israeli forces on the Global Sumud Fleet, which was on its way to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, in international waters, is an act of terrorism that severely violates international law and endangers the lives of innocent civilians."
"THEY TARGET EVERYONE WHO FIGHTS AGAINST OPPRESSION"
This attack, which targets civilians acting for peaceful purposes without resorting to violence, is proof that the fascist and militaristic policies of the genocidal Netanyahu government, which condemns Gaza to famine, are not limited to Palestinians and that it targets everyone who fights against the oppression imposed by Israel.
"ALL INITIATIVES ARE BEING LAUNCHED FOR THE RELEASE OF OUR CITIZENS"
We hope that this attack does not harm efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. Since the beginning of the journey, coordination has been established with other countries that have citizens among the participants in the fleet. In this context, all necessary initiatives are being launched for the immediate release of our citizens and other passengers detained by Israeli forces. Legal avenues will also be pursued to hold the perpetrators of the attack accountable.
We call on the UN and all relevant international organizations to take immediate action to lift the unlawful blockade on Gaza, allow humanitarian aid to enter the region, and ensure freedom of navigation.
AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK: ATTACK ON SUMUD IS AN ENEMY OF ALL HUMANITY
AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik stated the following in his remarks: "The Sumud Fleet is one of the noblest hands trying to reach the oppressed people of Gaza on behalf of the alliance of humanity. The genocidal Netanyahu network imposes hunger on the people of Gaza as a form of massacre. The members of the Sumud Fleet have opposed this massacre on behalf of humanity.
The attack by the genocidal Netanyahu government on the Sumud Fleet is an enmity against all humanity. The intervention against the Sumud Fleet is hostile and barbaric. The whole world must act as one voice against this barbaric intervention. The Sumud Fleet means humanity."
VICE PRESIDENT YILMAZ'S STRONG REACTION
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz harshly criticized Israel in a statement on his social media account. Yılmaz said: "Israel's unlawful and barbaric attack on the Sumud Fleet in international waters is unacceptable. I condemn and denounce this attack on the common conscience of humanity."
A ceasefire must be achieved before more crimes against humanity are committed in Gaza, humanitarian aid must be delivered uninterruptedly and at sufficient levels, and the path to a lasting two-state solution must be opened.
TBMM PRESIDENT KURTULMUŞ: "CLEAR VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW"
TBMM President Numan Kurtulmuş stated the following in his remarks: "The Global Sumud Fleet, formed by hundreds of activists from 44 countries to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, break the Israeli embargo, and draw attention to the ongoing genocide, is a peaceful movement of the 'Humanity Front' against Israeli oppression.
We are receiving reports that Israeli terrorist forces have surrounded the fleet approaching the waters off Gaza and have intervened and raided it. Any attack on the ships of the 'Global Sumud Fleet' is a clear violation of international law and a crime.
Attacks on this fleet, which set out to ignite the light of truth in the conscience of humanity, will increase support for the innocent people of Gaza from all over the world. No matter what they do, the establishment of a free Palestinian state from the river to the sea cannot be prevented."
COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR DURAN: "IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A DARK STAIN"
Communications Director Burhanettin Duran stated the following in his remarks: "It is unacceptable for Israel to attack the Global Sumud Fleet, which set out to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, and I strongly condemn it. This intervention against the Global Sumud Fleet will go down in history as a dark stain. The sole aim of the civil activists and volunteers is to deliver food, medicine, and basic necessities to innocent people under embargo.
Israel, which commits genocide in Gaza, has added another crime to its record by attacking civilian and peaceful activists in international waters. This intervention by Israel is an open attack not only on human dignity but also on international law. I call on the entire international community to raise their voices against this unlawful and inhumane attack.
