The Israeli navy intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying aid to Gaza and detaining activists, including Greta Thunberg. Israel claims the boats approached a combat zone and violated a naval blockade. The GSF denounced the interception as illegal and an act of desperation to maintain Gaza's isolation and starvation. Other nations' officials expressed concerns about the safety and legal treatment of those aboard.
