Summary
Protest demonstrations are being held across the globe including Pakistan to condemn the barbarous attack on part of Israel on an aid ship near Gaza the other day. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has called for an impartial and credible investigation into the Israeli raid on a ship carrying humanitarian aid and pro-Palestinian activists bound for the Gaza Strip. The raid, conducted in international waters, resulted in the deaths of at least nine activists. In the meantime, Israel Tuesday warned that it would prevent all aid ships from reaching Gaza, as activists vowed a new attempt to run the blockade despite the bloody ending to its latest mission. We will not let any ships reach Gaza and supply what has become a terrorist base threatening the heart of Israel, deputy defence minister Matan Vilnai said.The US embassy confirmed that the three Pakistanis boarding one of the ships are alive and safe and would soon be back.
