According to the report, Israeli naval commandos have taken control of the Madleen, a British-flagged vessel operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which had set sail to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. The yacht, carrying 12 people including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and an Al Jazeera journalist, was intercepted in international waters, approximately 160km from Gaza’s coast. According to the FFC, Israeli forces used drones and irritant substances to forcibly board the vessel overnight. Activists said they were ordered to turn off their phones before the boat was redirected to the Israeli port of Ashdod. The ship had intended to deliver a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid and draw global attention to the siege on Gaza.

The report also said that Israel’s Foreign Ministry described the mission as a “provocation and a publicity stunt” and said the blockade remains a critical security measure. The FFC denounced the interception as illegal, calling it an act of piracy and demanding the immediate release of the crew and the lifting of the blockade. The move has drawn international condemnation from the UN and human rights organizations.

Why should you not follow the order to have a smooth sailing of your deliveries for the Gazans. Israel is doing this to avoid the terrorists to receive the aids who are believed to join the civilians to be able to receive the humanitarian aids.
