Netanyahu praises Israel's unlawful interception of Sumud Flotilla

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised on Thursday the Israeli military for its unlawful interception of the Sumud Flotilla in international waters. 

“I commend the soldiers and commanders of the navy who carried out their mission on Yom Kippur in the most professional and efficient manner,” Netanyahu said in a statement. 

“Their important action prevented dozens of vessels from entering the war zone and repelled a campaign of delegitimisation against Israel," he added.
