Israeli forces intercepted the British-flagged ship Madleen in international waters while it was on a humanitarian mission to Gaza, resulting in the detention of climate activist Greta Thunberg and other crew members. The vessel, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to symbolically challenge Israel's blockade while delivering aid. Thunberg called for Swedish governmental intervention for their release, highlighting the tensions around international aid to Gaza, especially amid Israel's prohibition of such aid for the past two months.
Israeli forces seized a ship carrying aid for Gaza early Monday in international waters, detaining prominent climate change activist Greta Thunberg and other protesters.
Thunberg said in a pre-recorded video, calling for pressure on the Swedish government to help secure their release.
