• Israel intercepts aid flotilla but one ship reported to have got through blockade

• Reaction: interception triggers protests, diplomatic expulsions and calls for strikes

Amnesty International UK called on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to denounce Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Reports that Israeli forces have intercepted the Gaza flotilla marks yet another shameful chapter in the brutal and merciless enforcement of Israel's illegal and immoral 18-year blockade of Gaza and is an attack on international law and basic humanity," said Kerry Moscogiuri, Amnesty International UK's director of communications. Keir Starmer has a serious role to play. With British citizens and British-flagged ships involved, he must not revert to silence as usual."
