Birawi warns of Israel’s decision to impound Gaza flotilla ships

Thursday 12-July-2018

Zaher al-Biraw Head of the International Committee for Breaking the Siege said that the Jerusalem court’s decision to confiscate 2 Norwegian ships planning to sail to Gaza is a serious unprecedented step that legitimizes Israeli piracy in international waters.

In a statement on Thursday evening Birawi opined that this resolution exempts Israel from legal responsibility in case of attacking the ships which are carrying unarmed civil activists who call for breaking the siege on Gaza.

He affirmed that the Israeli court’s decision will not affect the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and the voyage program of the ships which are going to sail from Italy to Gaza in the coming few days.
