Greta Thunberg and fellow activists were forcibly intercepted by Israeli naval forces while aboard the aid ship Madleen, headed for Gaza. The interception occurred approximately 185 km from Gaza, leading to their detention and processing for deportation at Tel Aviv airport. The action, which drew condemnation from Turkey and Iran, raised significant concerns regarding humanitarian access to Gaza, where the population faces severe food shortages. The interference not only affected the activists but also attracted attention from international officials, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who requested expedited return for French nationals.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirmed that all activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained and processed for deportation following their interception by Israeli forces.
Adalah, an Israeli NGO, noted that the Madleen activists sought legal support, highlighting their intention to contest the actions taken against them by Israel.
