Israel Accused of Kidnapping 21 from Handala Ship
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Israeli forces kidnapped 21 people from the Handala ship, which was heading to the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid as part of the Freedom Flotilla action. The organizers of the action reported this on social networks on July 27.

"Israeli forces illegally boarded the Handala in international waters, kidnapping 21 unarmed civilians. Demand that your government stop complicity in Israeli war crimes, allow unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members," X (formerly Twitter) said in a post.

The Handala left Sicily on July 13 with new humanitarian aid for Gaza. It was carrying food and medicine. The ship was stopped about 70 miles from the Gaza Strip and towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod, according to media reports.

On July 27, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) introduced a daily " tactical pause " in military operations in certain areas of the Gaza Strip from 10:00 to 20:00 Moscow time. This decision was made in connection with the increased flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Moreover, from 06:00 to 23:00 Moscow time, designated safe routes will be in operation for the passage of humanitarian aid convoys from the UN and organizations that deliver and distribute food and medicine to residents of the Gaza Strip, the IDF added.

The Israeli military clarified that such a regime will be introduced until further notice in areas where military operations are not being conducted: Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City.

On July 25, the Russian leader's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow supports UN Security Council resolutions on the Palestine issue, considering them the only way to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. In October 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin recalled that the UN Security Council resolution prescribes the creation of two states in the Middle East : Palestine and Israel. He added that Russia has always proceeded from the fact that this decision must be implemented.
