A boat carrying aid to Gaza, with climate activist Greta Thunberg on board, was intercepted by Israeli forces in the early hours of the morning. The Madleen, a vessel from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, docked at Israel’s Port of Ashdod after being seized. Thunberg and 11 other passengers underwent medical examinations. The activists claimed they were “kidnapped” by Israeli forces, while Israel described it as a media stunt to gain publicity. The interception sparked an international row, with many questioning the legitimacy of the blockade on Gaza.
