Turkish Foreign Ministry:

The intervention of the Israeli forces against the ship “Madleen”, which set sail to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, including our citizens on board, while it was in international waters is a clear violation of international law.

This heinous act by the Netanyahu government, which threatens the freedom of navigation and maritime security, once again demonstrates that Israel is acting as a terror state.

The rightful reaction of the international community against the genocidal policies of Israel, which uses hunger as a weapon in Gaza and prevents the delivery of humanitarian aid, will continue. Israel's aggressive and unlawful actions will not silence the voices that stand up for human dignity and universal values.
