Israeli Navy Seizes Aid Ship Bound for Gaza, Greta Thunberg Among Passengers

International activists attempted to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, but their ship, the Madeline, was intercepted by Israeli forces. The ship, carrying 12 activists and 200 European parliament members, was stopped and redirected to the Israeli port of Ashdod. Among the passengers was climate activist Greta Thunberg. The Israeli navy justified the action as a security precaution. 'We acted to prevent a potential security threat,' said an Israeli navy spokesperson. The European parliament members involved have issued a statement condemning the seizure and demanding the release of the ship and its passengers. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the blockade of Gaza and the international community's efforts to provide humanitarian assistance.
