Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: A coalition of 13 countries, including Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Spain and South Africa, issued a joint statement condemning the Israeli military's seizure of the ships of the Samoud World Fleet and the abduction of the activists on the ships. The 13 foreign ministers said they strongly condemn the Israeli attack on the fleet, which is a "civil and peaceful initiative" aimed at drawing attention to the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza. They described the Israeli attack on the fleet on April 30 and the abduction of activists in international waters off the coast of Greece as a "clear violation" of international law and maritime conventions. The group also expressed deep concern about the condition and safety of activists who are still in custody, and called on Israeli officials to guarantee their "immediate and unconditional" release. The foreign ministers of Turkey, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Jordan, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, South Africa and Spain also called on the international community to fulfill its moral and legal obligations to keep the law. "International, protect civilians and ensure accountability for these violations and violations." Earlier, Francesca Albanies, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, described Israel's move to seize the "Sustainable World Fleet" in international waters as apartheid without borders.
