“The attack, aimed at civilians acting peacefully, without resorting to violence, is proof that the fascist and military policy implemented by the Netanyahu genocide government, who condemned gauze to hunger, is not limited to Palestinians, but is aimed at all who are fighting by Israel's oppression,” we read in a statement of the Ministry of Turkish.

“All necessary steps are taken to immediately release our citizens and other passengers detained by Israeli forces” – is another fragment of the statement.
Flotilla ships intercepted by Israel
On Wednesday at night, when the International Sumud Flotilla approached less than 80 nautical miles (about 148 km) to the blocked Gaza Zone, Israel's navy approached the units and took over several of them. Activists reported that the Israeli army used water cannons against them and intentionally rammed one boat, but none of the crews were injured.
Israeli authorities previously called units to take the course to the Israeli port of Ashdod, where the humanitarian aid load would be discharged and transferred to the Gaza Strip.
The Sumud Flotilla is an international initiative in which representatives of over 40 countries participate. On board the units included in it also includes Poles, among them: MP for the Sejm of the Republic of Poland Franciszek Sterczewski, president of the Polish Palestinian Social and Cultural Association, Omar Faris, president of the Nomada Nina Ptak Association, and journalist and activist Ewa Jasiewicz, author of the book “Fan Gaza”.
