STATEMENT OF LITHUANIA‘S MFA REGARDING ISRAEL‘S MILITARY OPERATION AGAINST GAZA-BOUND FLOTILLA

Lithuania is following with deep concern the situation that has emerged after Israel‘s military forces raided a flotilla of aid-carrying ships bound for Gaza Strip on 31 May.

Lithuania calls for an investigation of the human casualties and expresses condolences to the families and relatives of those who perished. Lithuania will consult its partners in the European Union about the common reaction to these events.

According to the Embassy of Lithuania to Israel, there were no Lithuanian citizens on board the ships that were carrying the aid cargo.
