Greta Thunberg's Aid Yacht Seized by Israel: Activists Claim 'Kidnapping'

Activist Yacht Intercepted: Greta Thunberg Among Those Detained by Israeli Forces. A yacht carrying humanitarian aid and a group of activists, including prominent climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and a French politician, was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters while en route to Gaza. The vessel, carrying a small cargo of humanitarian supplies, was subsequently redirected to an Israeli port. In a video message released shortly after the interception, Thunberg stated, "We've been kidnapped." The Israeli foreign ministry, however, described the vessel as a "selfie yacht," downplaying the humanitarian aspect of the mission. Footage from the yacht shows activists wearing life jackets, suggesting a degree of apprehension before the interception. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and highlights the challenges faced by those attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The event has sparked international attention and raised questions about Israel's actions in the region. The activists' claims of kidnapping are currently being investigated.
