24. SCREENSHOT OF POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE 'X' BY MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER, ANWAR IBRAHIM, READING (English):

“I condemn in the strongest terms Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. These vessels carried unarmed civilians and life-saving humanitarian supplies for Gaza, yet they were met with intimidation and coercion.

By blocking a humanitarian mission, Israel has shown utter contempt not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world. The flotilla embodied solidarity, compassion and the hope of relief for those under blockade.

Malaysia will use all legitimate and lawful means at our disposal to ensure that Israel is held to account, especially in matters concerning Malaysian citizens. The safety and dignity of our people are paramount, and we will not allow them to be compromised with impunity.

As long as the Palestinian people are denied their fundamental rights and aspirations, Malaysia will stand unflinchingly with them. We will not relent in demanding an end to the injustice and dispossession that have plagued Palestine for generations.”

25. SCREENSHOT OF POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE 'X' BY PAKISTANI PRIME MINISTER, SHEHBAZ SHARIF, READING (English):

“Pakistan strongly condemns the dastardly attack by Israeli forces on the 40 vessel Samud Gaza flotilla, carrying over 450 humanitarian workers from 44 countries.

We hope and pray for the safety of all those who have been illegally apprehended by Israeli forces and call for their immediate release. Their crime was to carry aid for the hapless Palestinian people.

This barbarity must end. Peace must be given a chance and humanitarian aid must reach those in need.”

26. VARIOUS SCREENSHOTS OF POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE 'X' BY BOLIVIA'S PRESIDENT, LUIS ARCE CATACORA, READING (Spanish/English): (APPROXIMATE TRANSLATION BY X)

"The Plurinational State of Bolivia strongly condemns the brutal attack perpetrated in recent hours by the Government of Israel against the Sumud Flotilla, a group of civilians of various nationalities en route to Gaza with humanitarian aid. This unacceptable act of violence, carried out under the responsibility of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and an affront to human dignity. In the face of this criminal act, Bolivia denounces before the world the policy of state terrorism that Netanyahu is pursuing against a people suffering from siege, hunger, occupation, and extermination. No excuse can justify the attack against unarmed people whose sole mission was to deliver food and medicine to the Palestinian people. This fact demonstrates, once again, the Israeli regime's absolute indifference and impunity toward innocent lives and international law. We call on the international community, multilateral organizations, and the free peoples of the world to raise a firm voice of condemnation and mobilization against this new barbarity. Bolivia reaffirms its position as a State of peace, committed to the defence of human rights and the self-determination of peoples, and demands the immediate cessation of Israeli hostilities against Palestine. Silence is complicity: today more than ever, humanity must stand on the side of justice and life."
