Greta Thunberg Among Activists Detained by Israel in Gaza Aid Ship Incident

International activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained by Israeli forces on June 9th, 2025, while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Israeli navy intercepted the aid ship, and according to an Israeli government spokesperson, all those on board will be deported. Footage from the incident shows the activists reacting to the interception. Greta Thunberg, in a prerecorded video, stated, "We have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters." The Israeli government spokesperson, David Mencer, later commented on the 'meager cargo' onboard the ship. Despite Israel easing its blockade, aid continues to be insufficient for the population facing starvation. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
