French President Emmanuel Macron urged Israel to quickly release activists, including Greta Thunberg, who were detained while attempting to reach Gaza. Following the seizure of the boat Madleen, protests erupted in several European cities, with tens of thousands rallying against Israel's military operations. Macron emphasized the need for the safe return of the French nationals on board and condemned the humanitarian blockade of Gaza as a "scandal". Israel's foreign ministry assured that all detained activists were safe, as tensions escalated amidst ongoing military actions following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.
Macron characterized the situation as "international piracy" and emphasized the need for the immediate liberation of the activists aboard the vessel detained by Israeli forces.
Protests erupted across Europe, with demonstrators in France and Switzerland demanding the release of the detained activists and highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
