The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on Thursday strongly condemned the Israeli occupation’s piracy attack on international activists on the Freedom Flotilla in international waters, describing it as “the largest terrorist piracy operation in modern times and organized state terrorism led by a war gang under the direct orders of Benjamin Netanyahu.”
In a statement received by Safa News Agency, the Front affirmed that the entire world witnessed this terrorist crime, which represented a blatant violation of all international laws and norms and exposed the pirate nature of the entity, which continues its crimes without any deterrent or accountability.
She also condemned the shameful complicity of the Italian authorities, who abdicated their responsibility to protect the solidarity activists and facilitated the crime of piracy, holding them directly morally and legally responsible.
The Front called on the international community to take urgent action to arrest Netanyahu and the occupation’s political and military leaders and bring them before international courts, and to impose comprehensive sanctions and boycott the entity at all levels.
The world’s nations were called upon to provide protection for the Freedom Flotilla and the solidarity convoys, guarantee their access to Gaza to lift the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid, and continue to send more convoys to break the blockade and increase pressure on the occupation.
The Front commended the global solidarity movements and demonstrations that took place in several capitals in rejection of the crime, applauding the Italian General Labour Union’s announcement of a general strike in protest against the Israeli piracy .
