It has been learned that an attack was carried out on the ship named “Conscience”, belonging to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and carrying our citizens, while it was sailing in international waters off the coast of Malta.

The crew and passengers on board are confirmed to be in good health.

Necessary efforts are underway in cooperation with the Maltese authorities to ensure the transfer of our citizens to a safe location.

We condemn in the strongest terms this attack on a civilian ship, which threatens freedom of navigation and maritime security in international waters.

There are allegations that the ship was targeted by Israeli drones. All necessary efforts will be made to uncover the details of the attack as soon as possible and to ensure that those responsible are held accountable before justice.
