The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that “deplores” the action of Israel that intercepted the vessels of the “Global Sumud Flotilla”. There are Brazilian citizens present, including Mrs Luizianne Lins (PT-CE). The group’s goal was to bring humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
“The Brazilian government deplores the military action of the government of Israel, which violates rights and endangers the physical integrity of protesters in peaceful action. In the context of this condemnable military operation, it becomes the responsibility of Israel the safety of detained people,” says the text of Itamaraty.
The ministry also stated that it reiterates the need for “immediate and unconditional survey of all Israeli restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, in line with Israel’s obligations, as an occupying power, in the light of international humanitarian law.”
