Gaza premier Ismail Haneyya has said that the blood of Turkish martyrs who fell while en route to break the siege on Gaza aboard the Mavi Marmara ship had conquered the blockade on the coastal enclave.
He said, while touring the Marmara ship on Monday, that Israel had exercised the most brutal form of piracy against the Freedom Flotilla in a bid to terrorize the world away from supporting Gaza.
Haneyya said, “We will never surrender our lands or rights as the least we can do out of loyalty to the blood of martyrs of the Freedom Flotilla.”
The premier said that the Israeli war on Gaza targeted ending resistance and Palestinian steadfastness in addition to toppling the elected government.
He told the Turkish citizens, who gathered in hundreds in front of the ship, that Gaza would not bow before the siege, affirming that Gaza had defeated the conspiracy and that the Israeli occupation’s strategy had failed in Gaza and God willing in all of Palestine.
Haneyya honored the families of the nine Turkish citizens who were killed in the Israeli attack on Mavi Marmara in May 2010 while on its way to break the Gaza siege within the Freedom Flotilla.
