'Reprehensible': LBC Spark Fury with Report on Israel's Seizure of Madleen Aid Ship
- Israeli forces intercepted and detained 12 activists aboard the Madleen, a British-flagged aid ship bound for Gaza, early on June 10, 2025, in international waters.
- The Madleen was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's effort to deliver a symbolic amount of food and medical aid amid Gaza's blockade and worsening humanitarian crisis.
- Activists including Greta Thunberg, Rima Hassan, and Omar Faiad were held aboard an Israeli ship after being separated from Madleen, while Israel prepared prison cells under strict conditions for their detention.
- Human rights organizations and various governments condemned the interception as illegal under international law, with Huwaida Arraf emphasizing that Israel lacks jurisdiction to detain these volunteers in international waters.
- The incident intensified calls for ending Gaza's siege, immediate release of the detainees, unimpeded humanitarian access, and accountability for Israeli military actions against aid vessels.
