Greta Thunberg, French MEP Among Activists Intercepted by Israeli Navy

International activists, including Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, were intercepted by the Israeli navy on June 9th, 2025, while attempting to break the Gaza blockade. The incident occurred in international waters, according to Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the organization that chartered the boat. The video includes footage from the boat and interviews with Rima Hassan, who stated, "If you're seeing this video, it's because we were intercepted by either the State of Israel or forces complicit with the State of Israel." The French government is actively seeking consular protection for its citizens involved. The Israeli government maintains its right to prevent the breaching of the naval blockade, citing the prevention of arms smuggling to Hamas as its primary objective. The incident has sparked protests and calls for action from various left-wing political parties in France.
