17 hours after its unlawful seizure and capture, the #Madleen crew remains held offshore, reportedly near Ashdod. I call on:
– Israel to release them immediately, and let them sail unimpeded to Gaza;
– The UK to act under its Article 94 UNCLOS duties as flag-state to ensure the safety of the crew;
– Crew members’ home states (Brazil, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Turkey), to intervene to ensure the safety of their citizens.
There is no legal basis for Israel’s actions. All states must uphold their obligations under the Genocide Convention—to prevent further acts of genocide and end Israel’s impunity.
It should never have fallen to ordinary citizens to do what states refuse to.
The activists forcefully kidnapped by Israel from aboard the Madleen must be immediately released. This represents yet another brazen violation of international law.
Israel must be sanctioned by the EU. The Irish government must stop facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds.
The brutal, dehumanising siege of Gaza must be brought to an end now. The genocide, the slaughter, the mass starvation must be stopped now.
Last night, the Israeli military surrounded the Madleen, the @GazaFFlotilla ship, sprayed it with a white irritant substance, jammed communications, boarded the vessel, and kidnapped the 12 volunteers who were about to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
If you want to know how sinister and complicit the western press is. Read and listen carefully to the reporting of the illegal ramming, boarding and kidnapping of the volunteers onboard the #FreedomFlotilla near #Gaza they were carrying humanitarian aid.
@SenatorWong@AlboMP Penny the only thing you should be doing RIGHT NOW is calling for a ceasefire and recalling back the I.rael “ambassador” for Australia. #CeasefireNOW
Meanwhile the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent P.lestinian people financed and condoned by yourself paid for by us, is still happening… #CEASEFIRE_NOW
A week after the Hamas attack, Israel's Ministry of Intelligence issued a secret ten-page document outlining the expulsion of the Palestinian population of Gaza to northern Sinai, in Egypt:
1. Instruct Palestinian civilians to vacate north Gaza ahead of land operations;
2. Sequential land operations from north to south Gaza;
3. Routes across Rafah to be left clear;
4. Establish tent cities in northern Sinai and construct cities to resettle Palestinians in Egypt
The document has been verified by an official from the Ministry of Intelligence, according to the Hebrew website Mekomit which originally published the document. Mekomit noted that documents from the Ministry of Intelligence are advisory and not binding on the executive
