Israel intercepted the 'Madleen,' a vessel carrying humanitarian aid and high-profile passengers, including activist Greta Thunberg. After detaining the passengers, Israel's Foreign Ministry announced a quick deportation process to return them home. The activists were sailing towards Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's mission. Israel justified the interception by emphasizing its naval blockade's necessity to prevent arms smuggling. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition claimed that the Israeli military unlawfully boarded the ship, raising significant concerns about the treatment of humanitarian missions in international waters.
