Gaza – Saba:
Hamas leader Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri has confirmed that the enemy's attack on the Madeleine ship and the arrest of the activists on board is a war crime.
Abu Zuhri said in press statements on Monday that "it is shameful for the international community to remain silent about this piracy."
He stressed that the response to this crime must be to send ships from all countries of the world seeking to break the blockade toward Gaza, and to not surrender to the Zionist crime.
This morning, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced that the Israeli enemy army boarded Madeleine ship heading to Gaza and kidnapped the activists on board.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition launched the Madeleine, a civilian ship carrying humanitarian aid and international volunteers, from the Italian port of Catania last Sunday in a renewed attempt to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, which has been in place for more than 17 years.
The Madeleine is carrying vital and urgent supplies for the residents of the Gaza Strip, including baby formula, flour, rice, diapers, sanitary pads, water desalination equipment, medicines and medical supplies, as well as crutches and prosthetic limbs for children.
The ship is also accompanied by volunteers of various nationalities, including Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan and Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.
