Khudari: Int'l law does not allow Israel to block Lebanon's aid ships

GAZA, (PIC)-- MP Dr. Jamal Al-Khudari, the head of the popular committee against the siege, has charged that Israel is not entitled to block the arrival of Lebanese aid ships "Mariam" and "Naji Al-Ali" to the Gaza Strip.

Khudari, in a press release on Saturday, said that the ships, which are scheduled to sail for Gaza within the few coming days, proceed according to official navigation laws.

He stressed that the Israel's threats to attack peaceful boats that only carry humanitarian and relief material along with American nuns point to its intention to fight anyone displaying solidarity with the Palestinian people.

All solidarity ships around the world are free to reach Gaza and break the siege imposed on it for the past four years, the MP elaborated.

He noted that preparations for sending more aid ships to Gaza prove that the Israeli allegation of easing the siege did not convince anyone.

He warned of an Israeli attack on the Lebanese ships at sea similar to what happened to the Freedom Flotilla that ended with a massacre.

Khudari said that Israel was the one breaking the international law as what it did to the Freedom Flotilla and the Libyan aid ship.
