Qatar Condemns Mistreatment By Israeli National Security Minister Of Global Sumud Flotilla Activists

Doha: The State of Qatar has condemned the mistreatment by the Israeli National Security Minister of activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla detained by Israeli authorities, describing this act as inhumane treatment constituting a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry emphasized that the mistreatment and abuse faced by activists from countries that maintain relations with Israel, in full view of the world, clearly expose the scale of violations endured by Palestinians living under occupation and apartheid for decades.

The ministry stressed that the practices of the Israeli government members must not be dealt with as isolated or individual incidents separated from the broader context, adding that such moves demonstrate a methodical Israeli behavior and official policy that gives no qualms about any attention to human dignity, and disregards both international law and the reactions of the international community.

The ministry called on the international community to urgently spring into action to halt the Israeli provocations and inhumane treatment against the held activists and unconditionally release them immediately.

At the same time, the ministry underscored the importance of holding the occupation to account for its persistent crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, in addition to putting an end to policies of impunity that encourage the continuation of such practices.
