Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Vessel Carrying Greta Thunberg, Detains Activists
- On June 9, 2025, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Madleen, a British-flagged aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists near Gaza in international waters.
- The Madleen aimed to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, despite the International Court of Justice ordering Israel not to prevent aid deliveries.
- Israeli forces detained all passengers, deported Thunberg and four activists, and held eight others in detention with pending court appearances amid accusations of abuse and arbitrary detention.
- The Israeli Foreign Ministry shared a viral photo of Thunberg receiving a sandwich, which she called a 'PR stunt,' while the Freedom Flotilla Coalition labeled Israel's actions an 'illegal attack' and further war crimes.
- The interception intensified international scrutiny of Israel's blockade of Gaza and prompted activists to plan a June 15 March on Gaza to challenge the ongoing restrictions.
