KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he and his team are actively engaging with stakeholders, including diplomatic channels, to secure the immediate release of Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) participants detained by Israeli forces.
The Prime Minister said updates on each stage of the process towards securing the release of the Malaysian, ASEAN and international volunteers will be conveyed from time to time.
“To the families of all activists and volunteers, may you be granted continued strength and resilience in facing this challenging moment.
“Let us all pray together for the safety and protection of all detainees, especially Malaysians,” he said in a Facebook post today.
In the post, the Prime Minister also shared a video of his conversation with Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) director-general Datuk Dr Sani Araby Abdul Alim Araby, who provided the latest report on the humanitarian mission.
In total, 10 ships were carrying 23 Malaysians in the GSF mission bound for Gaza.
As of 7.50 am Malaysian time today, 12 Malaysians have been confirmed detained by Israeli forces after their ships entered the R3 red zone, about 100 nautical miles from Gaza, last night.
