It appears that the war between Israel and Gaza is still ongoing, but this time it is not limited to bombs and airstrikes. Instead, Israel has reportedly been restricting the supply of essential daily necessities to Gaza and has stopped some aid ships operated by organizations. In response, Pakistan, along with 11 other countries, has protested against this action.
Israel’s military has stopped 22 ships that were heading to Gaza.
The foreign ministers of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Jordan, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey said in a joint statement that this is an attack.
The statement said,
“This was a peaceful humanitarian initiative aimed at drawing the attention of the international community to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
It also said, “The Israeli attack on the ships and the unlawful detention of activists in international waters is a clear violation of international law.

At the same time, the foreign ministers of these countries expressed concern over the safety of the activists and urged Israeli authorities to take necessary steps to ensure their immediate release.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that 175 activists have been taken into custody.
Pro-Palestinian activists say that 22 ships of the Gaza-bound aid flotilla were stopped by the Israeli army in international waters near Greece’s Crete island, and all the people on board those ships were taken into custody.
