KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno has strongly condemned Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) and detention of international volunteers carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling the action a clear breach of international law and human rights.
Its chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin said in a statement on Thursday (Oct 2) that the party viewed the incident as a blatant violation of the principle of freedom of navigation and an attempt to politicise much-needed aid for a population already suffering under a long-standing blockade.
