- •The Sirius ship was rammed by an Israeli naval vessel in international waters, satellite communications cut after the collision
- •Erdogan describes the interception as 'piracy and banditry' and calls on the international community to respond
BIASES

UNITED KINGDOMDOMINANT ANGLE
London Questions Legality of Israeli Interception in International Waters, Between Condemnation of Blockade and Diplomatic Prudence Towards Israel.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •At least 38 of the 54 ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla have been seized by Israeli forces in international waters, 250 nautical miles off Gaza
- •Cypriot authorities have confirmed that the interceptions took place outside their territorial waters and without prior notification
- •The UN has described Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, in place since 2007, as a "direct contravention of international humanitarian law and human rights"
