Kuala lumpur: All mosques and surau across the country have been urged to perform solat hajat and recite Qunut Nazilah for the safety of 175 Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) 2.0 activists, including 10 Malaysians, who were abducted by the Zionist regime in international waters.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Dr Zulkifli Hassan, stated that the government fully supports the GSF 2.0 mission and is closely monitoring developments through the Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC). "We have mobilised mosques and surau to perform special prayers and supplications for the success of the GSF 2.0 mission and the safety of all activists, including the 10 Malaysians whose whereabouts remain unknown," he announced at a special press conference on the latest developments of the GSF 2026 mission.
Earlier, SNCC director-general Datuk Dr Sani Araby Abdul Alim Araby indicated that there has been no official confirmation on the safety status of the 175 activists, including the 10 Malaysians, after 38 hours since the abduction occurred in international waters.
Dr Zulkifli reaffirmed that the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), alongside Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, remains steadfast in its complete support for the GSF 2.0 mission and efforts to liberate Gaza from the Zionist regime. He further mentioned that the department is evaluating forms of assistance, including moral support, that can be extended to the families of the activists.
"We have several agencies ready, and we are continuing initiatives from previous GSF missions. We will assess the needs from time to time," he added.
The 10 Malaysians abducted include Zainal Rashid Ahmad, who was on board Arkham III, Osman Zolkifli and Dr Jihan Alya Mohd Nordin (Eros 1), Hazwan Hazim Dermawan, Mohd Hanafi Mohd Salim, Ahmad Musa Al-Nuwayri Kamaruzaman, and Norhelmi Ab Ghani (Bianca BCN), as well as Mohd Redzal Amzah and Muhamad Muhsin Zaidi (Freia and Marea), and Mohd Shamsir Mohd Isa (Esplai).
The GSF 2.0 mission represents an international maritime coalition and global mobilisation effort aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza in response to the worsening humanitarian crisis in the territory.
