Greta Thunberg, Freedom Flotilla Detained by Israel: Urgent Plea for Release

Greta Thunberg and Freedom Flotilla Detained by Israeli Forces: 'Pressure for Our Release' A flotilla aiming to break the blockade of Gaza, carrying prominent activist Greta Thunberg, has been intercepted and detained by Israeli forces. The crew, including Thunberg, Rima Hassan, and Sergio Toribio, have released a video statement denouncing their detention as a kidnapping. They describe the incident as an act of suppression against their efforts to deliver aid and highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. "We have been intercepted and kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces," Thunberg stated in the video. The crew is calling upon their respective governments—Germany, France, Sweden, and Spain—to intervene and secure their immediate release. They also appeal for an end to the blockade of Gaza and what they describe as a genocide against the Palestinian people. The incident has sparked international attention and raised concerns about freedom of navigation and the ongoing conflict. The video underscores the urgency of the situation and the flotilla's determination to challenge the blockade.
