Israel Intercepts Gaza Aid Flotilla in International Waters as Turkey Condemns Move.
Israeli forces have intercepted a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza Strip in international waters near Greece, according to organisers of the mission.
The flotilla, part of the Global Sumud initiative, had sailed from Barcelona on April 12 carrying humanitarian aid intended for Palestinians in Gaza in an effort to challenge the ongoing blockade.
Israeli authorities described the activists involved as “attention-seeking agitators,” while organisers condemned the interception as an escalation and accused Israel of acting with impunity.
Greek officials reportedly confirmed that the crews from all 17 vessels were safe aboard Israeli warships following the interception. Meanwhile, Turkey strongly criticized the operation, calling it a violation of international law.
The incident follows a previous flotilla attempt halted in October, during which climate activist Greta Thunberg was among those detained.
The interception has renewed international debate over maritime access to Gaza, humanitarian aid delivery, and the legality of blockades in international waters.
