GAZA, (PIC)– MP Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the Popular Committee Against the Siege, considered the Israeli attack on the aid ship Estelle and the arrest of international activists as an illegal piracy.
In an act violating international maritime law, the Israeli navy boarded on Saturday a humanitarian aid ship, the SV Estelle, 30 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, when the Israeli navy intercepted and diverted the boat to the nearby Israeli port of Ashdod.
He stressed in a written statement on the foreign peace activists’ rights to support the Palestinian people and to reach Gaza by sea and through all means to break the Israeli siege.
He called on the international community and humanitarian and human rights organizations to immediately intervene to free the activists, holding the occupation responsible for their lives.
“The occupation has to think of ending the blockade on Gaza because it is immoral, instead of thinking of confronting the solidarity activists with Gaza,” he said.
The head of the Popular Committee Against the Siege stressed on the Palestinian people’s right to have a water route linking Gaza to the outside world, noting that this right will receive support from the free world and the international community.
