A yacht carrying six French nationals, dubbed the 'selfie yacht' due to its passengers' social media activity, has arrived in Israel after an incident related to the ongoing Gaza conflict. France has requested consular access and their swift return. The French foreign minister also urged Israel to allow immediate humanitarian aid access to Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is worsening due to Israel's blockade and military offensive.
