Led by #Tlaib, Lawmakers Demand #Trump Administration Protect Flotilla to #Gaza

The flotilla, which is carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has already been attacked numerous times.

By Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg , from #Truthout Sept 30, 2025

“The law is clear: any attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla or its civilians is a clear and blatant violation of international law,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “The United States has an obligation to protect its citizens from foreign attack.”

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla, which set sail in August, is made up of dozens of civilian boats carrying volunteers from more than 40 countries, including the US. The flotilla has already been attacked at least three times, “causing explosions, fire, and severe damage,” the lawmakers wrote, adding that #US Ambassador and Special Envoy Tom Barrack attributed two of the attacks to #Israel.
