KUALA LUMPUR – Civil society organizations in Malaysia have unveiled a major international initiative—described as the largest of its kind—aimed at breaking the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip through a global maritime movement involving a thousand ships departing from multiple continents. The initiative is being hailed as an “uprising of human conscience” in support of Palestinians and a call to hold Israel accountable for its ongoing crimes.

This announcement was made during a press conference held in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, where Azmi Abdul Hamid, President of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations (MAPIM), said that the initiative is a response to the escalating Israeli aggression and the genocidal crimes being committed against Gaza’s population. He emphasized that the project is gaining growing support from organizations across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Abdul Hamid noted that the recent seizure of the Madleen vessel by Israeli forces has helped refocus global attention on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and has reignited solidarity movements around the world.

He added that the “Fleet of a Thousand Ships” would be broader and more coordinated than the 2010 “Freedom Flotilla,” which was led by the Mavi Marmara.

According to a joint statement signed by dozens of Malaysian institutions, the objectives of this maritime mission include: the immediate lifting of the siege, the delivery of humanitarian aid, the provision of international protection for Gaza’s residents, and the prosecution of Israeli leaders for war crimes.

The initiative also aims to pressure governments to take responsibility by ensuring protection for their citizens who join the mission—thereby increasing international pressure on Israel. …......more........
