Israel vowed to prevent a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists from reaching its destination. The ship, "Madleen," part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is defying Israel's blockade of Gaza, citing a humanitarian crisis. Israel's Defense Minister Katz warned the ship to turn back, while the crew, including a Member of the European Parliament and an actor, maintains its course, highlighting the blockade's impact and the need for aid. The UN Special Rapporteur emphasized the humanitarian significance of the mission beyond the material aid. Previous attempts by the coalition have faced alleged Israeli attacks.
