Tripoli – Saba:
Libya's Supreme Council of State has welcomed the entry of the Maghreb "Steadfastness Convoy" into Libyan territory, calling it "a living symbol of the connection between the Arab and Islamic peoples and the struggle of the Palestinian people."
In a statement, the Council expressed deep welcome for the convoy, which traveled by land as part of popular and humanitarian efforts to break the unjust siege on Gaza and strengthen Arab solidarity. The convoy is seen as a "practical stance against the occupation and its inhumane practices, supporting Gaza's steadfastness.
The Council affirmed Libya's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, stating that such convoys send a clear message that the blockade is morally and legally unacceptable. It reiterated calls to activate humanitarian and diplomatic initiatives to lift the Gaza blockade, provide urgent relief, and ensure freedom of movement and supplies.
The Maghreb Convoy involving hundreds of activists, departed Tunis on Monday morning, with its vanguard crossing into Libya via the Ras Jedir border crossing on Tuesday morning.
Medical coordinator Mohammed Amin Balnour described the reception in Libya as "exceptional," with public greetings and official security salutes, and Libyans providing extensive aid.
The initiative is part of a global movement by thousands of activists from 32 countries aiming to halt Israeli actions, break the Gaza siege, and deliver aid to over two million Palestinians facing hunger.
The report notes that since October 7, 2023, Israel occupation, with American support, has been committing "genocide" in Gaza, ignoring international calls and ICJ orders.
