Venezuela strongly condemned "Israel's" intercepting of the Madleen, a humanitarian aid vessel en route to Gaza, in international waters.

The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Benjamin Netanyahu's occupation government is committing massacres in Gaza with "complete impunity, protected and silenced by complicit Western powers."

At midnight on Sunday, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) stormed the Madleen, and sprayed the vessel with a white, paint-like substance before the Israeli commandos eventually took hold of the ship. 

Yousef Ajisa, deputy chairman of the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza, told Al Mayadeen the substance remains unknown.

Turkey blasts 'Israel' as 'terrorist state' amid Madleen interception

The Turkish government on Monday condemned "Israel" as a "terrorist state" after its naval forces intercepted the Madleen, a vessel operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), in international waters while it was en route to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Ankara slammed the incident as a “clear violation of international law,” accusing the Israeli government of endangering maritime security and undermining freedom of navigation.

“This heinous attack by the Netanyahu government, which also threatens freedom of navigation and maritime security, has once again proven that Israel is a terrorist state,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in an official statement.

Turkish diplomatic sources confirmed that its embassy in Tel Aviv is working to secure the release of the detained Turkish citizens as quickly as possible.

Among the 12 international activists aboard the Madleen were two Turkish nationals: Yasemin Acar, a dual German-Turkish citizen, and Suayb Ordu. Both were part of the crew detained by Israeli forces following the ship’s interception.
