Israel Pledges to Stop Freedom Flotilla Reaching Gaza

  • On 1 June 2025, the civilian vessel Madleen departed from Sicily carrying humanitarian aid and international volunteers toward Gaza to break Israel's naval blockade.
  • The voyage follows a similar May attempt by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition whose previous ship, Conscience, was struck by an Israeli drone in international waters near Malta, causing injuries and damage.
  • United Nations human rights experts urged Israel to allow safe passage for the Madleen, emphasizing that blocking it would violate international law and endanger civilians.
  • The Madleen carries essential supplies such as baby formula, medical items, and prosthetics, with a 12-person crew including Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, and expects to reach Gaza's coastline within about a week.
  • Israel’s military stated it enforces the maritime blockade and prepares for various scenarios, raising concerns over a possible interception that could escalate tensions in the region.
