Türkiye condemns Israeli raid on Gaza aid flotilla
Türkiye has condemned Israel’s intervention against the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters, describing the action against the Gaza-bound aid convoy as an “act of piracy.”
The Foreign Ministry said the flotilla had been organized to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and draw attention to the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians.
“By targeting the Global Sumud Flotilla, Israel has violated humanitarian principles and international law,” the ministry said in a written statement.
The statement also said the intervention breached the principle of freedom of navigation on the high seas.
