Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says he discussed last week’s Gaza flotilla incident with Canadian counterpart Anita Anand after she summoned Israel’s ambassador to Canada.

“I described the sole aim of the extremist, anti-Israel flotilla activists: provocation at the service of Hamas,” Sa’ar said in a May 25 social media post. He added Israel would continue to act in accordance with international law and will not allow the naval blockade on Gaza to be breached.
