The Israeli navy has intercepted boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) that were en route to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, detaining several activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg. Israel's Foreign Ministry stated that the vessels were stopped for approaching an active combat zone and violating a lawful naval blockade. The GSF condemned the interception as illegal and claimed that their vessels were attacked at sea. Protests have emerged in Greece, Italy, Tunisia, and Turkey, with Colombian President Gustavo Petro expelling Israeli diplomats and terminating a free trade agreement with Israel. The situation has drawn international attention, with calls for adherence to international law and the protection of civilians in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict.
