He reaffirmed Syria's security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, as well as the Kingdom's unwavering support and solidarity with it. Ambassador Al-Qudah urged the international community to take up its moral and legal obligations and force Israel to stop its unlawful and provocative strikes on Syria and to stop occupying a portion of its territory.

'Israel' prepares prison cells for Madleen activists, Spain summons diplomat
Israeli Occupation's chargé d'affaires in Madrid was summoned Monday by the Spanish Foreign Ministry for a formal reprimand, according to Hebrew Channel 7. Earlier today, 'Israeli' forces raided the vessel off the coast of Gaza. The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying international activists aiming to break the ongoing blockade on the Palestinian territory. The coalition reported losing contact with the ship after 'Israeli' soldiers boarded it. Footage from the scene showed 'Israeli' naval boats and low-flying drones circling the vessel. Hebrew media later confirmed all passengers were detained and the ship was towed to Ashdod Port. Israeli Occupation's prison service announced that Givon Prison in Ramla is prepared to receive the activists. According to Israel Hayom, the facility has set up separate cells, following instructions from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to prohibit communication devices, radios, televisions, and any Palestinian symbols.

‘Selfie yacht' jab backfires on 'Israel' as soldiers' posts resurface
Israeli Occupation's attempt to discredit the humanitarian aid flotilla Madleen by calling it a 'selfie yacht' has drawn sharp backlash online, with users accusing the government of hypocrisy and highlighting 'Israeli' soldiers' own social media behavior during the ongoing war on Gaza. 'Israeli' Foreign Ministry had mocked the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid bound for Gaza, by labeling it the 'selfie yacht,' suggesting it was more of a photo opportunity than a serious mission. The Israeli Navy is currently communicating with the 'selfie yacht'. Using an international civilian communication system, the Israeli Navy has instructed the 'selfie yacht' to change its course due to its approach toward a restricted area. — Israel Foreign Ministry (@IsraelMFA) June 8, 2025 That jab quickly sparked a wave of posts pointing out the irony. In one viral post on X, Assal Rad, a fellow at DAWN, responded with a photograph of 'Israeli' soldiers posing for a selfie in front of rubble in Gaza, captioned 'selfie yacht.' 'Selfie yacht' — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) June 9, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, president of ReThinking Foreign Policy, also weighed in, sharing similar images and asking, 'The Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the Madleen 'the selfie yacht'. So what do we call the Israeli army?' The #Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the #Madleen"the selfie yacht." So what do we call the Israeli army? — Mitchell Plitnick (@MJPlitnick) June 9, 2025 Since the start of the 'Israeli' ground invasion in late 2023, numerous photos and videos have emerged online showing 'Israeli' soldiers smiling, dancing, or making light of the destruction around them, often with Gaza's ruins as the backdrop. Some clips even show soldiers mocking displaced Palestinians, further fueling outrage over the double standard. Critics argue that Israeli Occupation's attempt to delegitimize peaceful aid missions, while its own soldiers document themselves amid devastation, only reinforces perceptions of indifference and insensitivity toward Palestinian suffering.
