Greta Thunberg Among 12 Activists Detained by Israeli Forces

Israeli forces intercepted a humanitarian aid ship headed to Gaza, detaining 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg. The activists were part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and their vessel, the Madleen, was stopped in international waters. Greta Thunberg, in a video message, stated, "We have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel." The Madleen had been reported to be entering Egyptian waters, only hours away from Gaza, on a mission to address the ongoing violence in Palestine. Israel has faced criticism for its actions in the region, particularly its military operations in Gaza, which have caused significant civilian casualties. The incident has sparked international concern and calls for the immediate release of the detained activists. The incident highlights the ongoing tension and conflict in the region.
