The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, also lashed out at Israel's storming of the aid ships, demanding the incident be used as a catalyst to lift Israel's and Egypt's blockade of the Gaza Strip.


He says "crimes" were committed against those who came to express solidarity with the people of Gaza, and that is a reminder there is an unjust blockade causing an open, oozing sore in Gaza. He says all those who defend freedom, justice and democracy are calling for something to be done to break this blockade, so that the blood of these people was not spilled in vain.

[The attack was an] inhuman Zionist regime action against Gazans.
The Israeli act of piracy against Arab and foreign activists who tried to break an non humanitarian unjust siege imposed on our fellow citizens in Gaza Strip, for no reason but they exercised their democratic right of choice.

The crimes purported this morning against the civilians supporting the Palestinians remind us of the unjust siege the open bleeding wound in the Strip; and all those who preach freedom, justice and democracy are required now to move and act to break this siege so the bloods of those free men do not go down the drains.

This is also message addressed to the Arab states who were brought to the moment of justice by those free men on board.
