I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters, and the unlawful detention of activists onboard.
This flagrant violation of international law and deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid by Israeli occupying power once again demonstrates continued Israeli impunity.
International community must step in to end repeated violations of international law by Israel, lift the blockade of Gaza, and ensure immediate release of all humanitarian workers and activists onboard the flotilla.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
Israel vuelve a violar la legalidad internacional al asaltar una flotilla civil en aguas que no le pertenecen.
Nuestro Gobierno está haciendo todo lo necesario para proteger y asistir a los españoles retenidos.

جهان شاهد رواداری و صلحطلبی ایران بوده است. آنچه با عنوان محاصره دریایی در حال انجام است امتداد عملیات نظامی علیه ملتی است که تنها هزینه ایستادگی و استقلال خود را میپردازد.
تداوم این رویکرد ظالمانه غیر قابل تحمل است.
