MB: We condemn the Zionist piracy against the Freedom Flotilla In international waters

---

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) condemns the crime of maritime piracy committed by the Zionist occupation forces against the ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip, by attacking them in international waters and kidnapping some of participants – in a renewed and ongoing violation of the international law, which protects the freedom of humanitarian civilian action and guarantees freedom of navigation in international waters.

The Brotherhood affirms that targeting the civilian Global Sumud Flotilla, which carries humanitarian aid and includes volunteer activists of multiple nationalities, constitutes an illegitimate military attack on legitimate international humanitarian work, with the aim of tightening the blockade on the Gaza Strip, preventing any safe humanitarian passage to the Palestinian strip, and confronting mere humanitarian sympathy.

The MB also stresses that this piracy contravenes the commitments declared in the Sharm El-Sheikh ceasefire agreement, which included opening the way for the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. This necessitates that the guarantor and sponsoring states of the agreement, especially Islamic countries, should play a positive and decisive role regarding the crime of piracy in particular, and with respect to ensuring the flow of aid (to Gaza) in general.

In this regard, the Muslim Brotherhood hails all participants in the Freedom Flotilla, regardless of their ethnicity or religion, for their commendable humanitarian stance, and calls upon the peoples of the Islamic nation and the free people of the world to escalate political, media and popular pressure (on “Israel”) to break the blockade on Gaza, fully open the crossings and secure the entry of aid (into to the Strip), and support the Palestinian cause in all forms and in all fields, until the Palestinian people obtain their right to freedom and independence.
