The Coalition of Palestinian National Factions has welcomed the Global Sumud Flotilla, which has set sail with dozens of vessels carrying international solidarity activists from across Europe and around the world.

In a statement, the coalition said the flotilla represents the conscience of humanity that rejects war and genocide, and aligns itself with truth and justice as embodied in the Palestinian cause. It described the mission as the free voice of the world, undeterred by Zionist-American pressure and threats aimed at silencing demands for justice and accountability.

The coalition added that the Global Sumud Flotilla exposes the failure of official international policies to take decisive measures to end the genocide and the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.

On behalf of the Palestinian people, the factions expressed deep appreciation to all those taking part in the flotilla, praising their courage and every sincere effort made to support and stand in solidarity with Gaza.
