U.S. Condemns Pro-Hamas Global Sumud Flotilla
(U.S. State Department) State Department Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said Thursday: The U.S. condemns the Global Sumud Flotilla, a pro-Hamas initiative and a baseless, counterproductive effort to undermine President Trump's peace plan. This pro-Hamas flotilla is organized by the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, which was designated as a global terrorist in January for operating at Hamas's behest. The founder of the Global Sumud Flotilla has publicly expressed support for the Iranian regime and its terror proxies including Hamas and Hizbullah. The U.S. expects all our allies, particularly those who have committed to supporting President Trump's 20-point plan, to take decisive action against this meaningless political stunt by denying port access, docking, departure, and refueling to vessels participating in the flotilla. Clear public warnings should be issued to their nationals to refrain from participating in this terror-supporting flotilla in any manner or risk facing legal consequences. The flotilla has nothing to do with humanitarian aid or the welfare of Gazans.
