The State of Qatar condemns the Israeli occupation attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, describing it as a flagrant violation of international law and maritime security, and an extension of the unjust blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the occupation's approach of besieging Palestinian people by closing crossings, targeting humanitarian aid convoys, and using food as a weapon will further exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza.

In this context, the ministry stresses the need for the international community to act firmly to compel the occupation to open the crossings, lift illegal restrictions on the flow of aid, and ensure protection for the Palestinian people.
