Live: Israel makes unlawful interception of Alma vessel, as Sumud Flotilla reaches 'decisive moment'
Israeli soldiers have boarded the Alma vessel, Middle East Eye can report. Alma is a the lead vessel of the Sumud Flotilla. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, told MEE.
Albanese said the interception is unlawful under two basic premises. Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is illegal under international law, Albanese said, adding, "it makes no sense whatsoever."
The flotilla is roughly 80 nautical miles from the coast of Gaza. Territorial waters extend for maximum 12 nautical miles.
idk what you expect to happen when something is under siege? These are just provocations to the Israeli army
I expect countries to do their jobs under international law
I expect the same, don’t get me wrong. To my understanding a siege means that absolutely nothing passes no matter if it’s humanitarian or not. Shouldn’t this be done when it’s not under siege?
Yeah that's the fucking point, it shouldn't be under siege in the first place!
I think you forgot your Israeli flag emoji. Please continue to explain how justified the IDF is in their actions. I mean, it's not like they would deliberately murder children and laugh about it. Or starve people to death. Or systematically level an entire civilization. Or murder journalists who report on it. Provocations... I can't imagine what your bubble reality looks like.
I don't think you're right:
