Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is among the activists held by the Israeli navy after it stopped boats delivering relief to Gaza. The Foreign Ministry of Israel reported that a number of ships belonging to the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) had been "safely stopped" and that the people on board were being taken to a port in Israel. It further stated that the ships were "approaching an active combat zone" and that the navy had instructed them to alter their course.
