Greta Thunberg Claims Kidnapping by Israeli Forces During Gaza Aid Mission

Greta Thunberg, a prominent climate activist, reported being intercepted and detained by Israeli forces in international waters while participating in a humanitarian aid mission to Gaza. The incident occurred on June 9th, 2025, during an ongoing blockade of Gaza, which has intensified since the recent conflict with Hamas. Thunberg stated in a video message: "If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces." The ship carrying humanitarian aid, with an unarmed crew, was stopped by Israeli forces. This action has sparked international attention and raised concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The Swedish government has been urged to intervene and secure Thunberg's release. This incident underscores the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the challenges faced by those attempting to deliver aid to Gaza.
