Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned the attack by Israeli forces on a flotilla in international water carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Omari, Amir JIH, in a statement termed the attack as barbaric and inhuman. He said that Israel by this act has showed that it neither respects international law nor cares for world opinion.
The flotilla was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is under relentless and inhuman siege for almost three years. Seven hundred human rights activists, parliamentarians, journalists, writers and prominent personalities of nearly 50 nationalities were on board when it was illegally attacked killing 19 people and rendering nearly 30 injured.
Maulana Omari also demanded the government of India to strongly condemn this barbaric attack and call upon Israel to immediately lift the inhuman Gaza siege.
