He called the Gaza-bound flotilla as a move to awaken the world conscience regarding the Israeli genocide in Gaza calling on Iranian people and seminaries to support the international pro-Palestine flotilla.
The cleric added,” Sumud Flotilla is a manifestation of world freedom-seekers’ protest against Israeli crimes in Gaza.”
In another part of this press conference, Hamidreza Maqsoudi, professor of Economics and a member of the popular campaign “Gaza Voice, Sumud Flotilla” said the ongoing starvation in Gaza had happened in Iran during the World Wars killing millions of Iranians.”
He added,” UNRWA is struggling to send food aid to Gaza but the present trickling of aid entering the besieged territory does not alleviate the critical condition there; therefore, there is no way but to break the Israeli siege.”
Dozens of boats carrying international activists embarked from Barcelona to Gaza late in August to break the Israeli total blockade of Gaza. It is named from the Arabic word Sumud meaning steadfastness.
