Israeli forces have taken control of the Madleen, a British-flagged yacht operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which aimed to deliver aid to Gaza. The boat was intercepted while en route, leading to accusations from the FFC that Israel acted unlawfully by boarding the vessel and detaining its unarmed crew. Among the crew members is well-known climate activist Greta Thunberg. Israel's foreign ministry confirmed that the passengers are safe and will return home, while the FFC condemned the act as arbitrary detention and a violation of international rights.
The FFC accused Israel of forcibly intercepting the Madleen, stating that the ship was unlawfully boarded, and its unarmed crew abducted.
Israeli forces confirmed their control over the Madleen and stated that all passengers were safe, provided with sandwiches and water during the detention.
