Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, has publicly declared that the state will undertake all actions necessary to halt the arrival of the Madleen, a ship carrying aid and activists including Greta Thunberg, to Gaza. This mission is organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in the area. In response, the activists, including notable figures like actor Liam Cunningham, condemned the threats as an unlawful use of force against civilians. Thunberg maintains that her goal is to preserve humanity amidst ongoing crises.
The statement by Israel's defence minister is yet another example of Israel threatening the unlawful use of force against civilians and attempting to justify that violence with smears.
I have instructed the IDF to act so that the hate flotilla does not reach the shores of Gaza and to take all necessary measures to that end.
