Embassy Comment
We have noted the article by Jonathan Eyal “#EU renewed toothless #sanctions against #Russia”, published in The Straits Times on February 1, 2025.
We agree with the author that the unilateral illegitimate sanctions aimed at continuing the hybrid war against Russia and inflicting a strategic defeat on us, are both unsuccessful and futile.
There is no doubt that the objectives of the special military operation (#SMO) on the #denazification and demilitarization of #Ukraine, its neutral and non-nuclear status, as well as ensuring the interests of the Russian people will be achieved.
The “bankrupt” Euro-Atlantic security architecture (#NATO) is being replaced by a new equal and indivisible #EurasianSecurity, which includes all the organizations that have demonstrated their effectiveness – the #EAEU, #SCO, #CSTO, etc.
The concept of #Eurasian security aligns with the accelerating formation of a multipolar world order. A key pillar of this shift is the rapidly growing, non-Western center of influence represented by #BRICS, which continues to attract countries from the #GlobalSouth, including #ASEAN member states, paving the way for a BRICS-ASEAN dialogue.
The consolidation of the countries of the Global South, making a choice in favor of peaceful, sustainable, inclusive, independent development together with Russia, China and other countries, represents a stable and viable trend in contrast to the outdated Western neocolonial “#InSanctionsWeTrust” mentality.
Bob Suberi, a U.S. and Israeli citizen and veteran, calls himself a “recovering Zionist.” Now in his third year attempting to help break Israel's illegal siege of Gaza on 'Handala', he’s taking direct action once again. After years working in Palestinian solidarity in the West Bank, Suberi is urging others, especially in the Jewish community, to speak out: “Let’s talk openly about a genocide. We’ve spent decades saying ‘Never again,’ and yet we’re justifying it.”

Thousands of people are rising across continents - on foot, in boats, in streets and squares - to say no more.
No more siege. No more starvation. No more occupation. No more genocide. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Follow and support March to Gaza today.

Nicole Jenes came to Malta to stand with the Freedom Flotilla's humanitarian action, not as an act of "rebellion", but as a reflection of what it means to be human. “This is the natural reaction to genocide, to Apartheid, to silence.” Despite drone attacks targeting the ship, no one is deterred. The volunteers and our supporters are undaunted, and together, we will push forward to Gaza. The power to break injustice lies within us. No more waiting. No more excuses.

Now with Israel's attack on Iran, the airports are shut down, and our three remaining 'Madleen' team members, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes may face an extra month, illegally detained in Israeli prison.
All three were meant to be released and flying back to their families today, June 13. The French and Dutch governments must find alternative routes and get their citizens home, whether through Jordan or otherwise - NOW.

Freedom Flotilla Official Update: It's time for our governments to do their jobs and sanction Israel. Its illegal attack on 'Madleen' while sailing in international waters is a small extension of their war crimes in Gaza. Governments, institutions, media, and corporations must stop protecting Israel, now. They must stop prioritising profit over human lives, now. Protect our volunteers while protecting Palestinians in Gaza and wider Palestine.

Israel’s attack on an unarmed humanitarian vessel in European waters, and the government silence that followed, is part of a wider pattern: 19 months of Israel's relentless violence in Gaza and 77 years of impunity across occupied Palestine.
While Malta’s newly released report confirms what we already knew, there has still been no condemnation issued. No investigation. No accountability.
As we prepare to sail again with ‘Madleen’, we do so knowing our ships remain targets, not only of Israeli aggression but of global inaction.
We call on governments to guarantee safe passage, on media to report the truth, and on people everywhere to demand an end to Israel’s siege and ongoing genocide:
– Share this post and tag the EU Commission and your MEPs
– Sign our petition to demand an independent investigation
– Demonstrate at weapons manufacturers
– Keep #AllEyesOnDeck as ‘Madleen’ sails

"The governments of the world failed to provide safe passage to the Madleen, to allow humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, who have been facing ethnic cleansing for 80 years and an illegal blockade for 18 years. To prevent ongoing Israeli war crimes they must immediately step up, oppose the apartheid regime of Israel and provide safe passage to the Sumoud convoy in Egypt. The time to act is now. Free Palestine!"
