Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
The leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution says the USA, Britain and France must be held accountable for an Israeli attack on a Gaza-bound aid convoy.
The supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said the attack on the international convoy was an act of lunacy, which brought Israel closer to its end.
'Zionism is a new and more aggressive face of fascism which is this time supported by governments claiming to be advocates of freedom and human rights, the US above all,' Ayatollah Khamenei said.
'What does the three-year blockade of food and medicine imposed on 1.5 million Palestinians mean? How is the massacre, torture and imprisonment of young Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank understandable?'
The supreme leader said that the symbolic act of sending aid convoys to the impoverished Gaza strip should be repeated in various forms and ways over and over again.
Early on Monday morning Israeli forces attacked the international convoy Freedom Flotilla en route to the besieged Gaza strip, killing at least 10 people and leaving many more wounded.
The international flotilla was carrying more than 10,000 tonnes of relief supplies, including food and construction material, for the besieged people of Gaza.
