In a joint statement, the groups said:Israel has illegally attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla, sailing to challenge Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza. Communications have gone dark, cameras are offline and the flotilla’s boats are being boarded by armed and masked commando forces. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thousand Madleens to Gaza stand firmly in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla and every human rights defender aboard. We will keep confronting genocide, apartheid, occupation, and mass starvation— until Gaza is free, and justice is no longer a dream but reality.
