JAKARTA, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday condemned Israel's treatment of volunteers aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla 2.0, describing the actions as inhumane and inconsistent with humanitarian principles.
"Israel's military action against the Global Sumud Flotilla and the volunteers onboard constitutes a clear violation of international law," the ministry said in a statement posted on social media platform X.
The ministry said the Indonesian government continues to seek the release of all detained Indonesian nationals through close coordination between the foreign ministry and Indonesian missions abroad, while ensuring their safety and well-being until their return.
According to the ministry, nine Indonesians were detained by the Israeli military while participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla humanitarian mission to Gaza, alongside hundreds of activists from dozens of countries. ■
