Malaysia Expresses Deep Concern over Detention of Madleen Flotilla Crew
- On June 1, the British-registered vessel Madleen, a sailing boat involved in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla initiative, departed from Sicily headed toward Gaza.
- Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has directed the military to prevent the Madleen from reaching Gaza and instead divert it to the port of Ashdod, overturning a prior decision.
- The Madleen carries urgently needed supplies like medicines, food, and water kits for Gaza’s population amid an ongoing Israeli offensive begun in October 2023.
- During a live broadcast, activist Yasemin Acar, aboard the Madleen, stated that if Israel were to carry out an attack on their vessel, it would amount to an additional war crime.
- The planned Israeli interception highlights the blockade enforcement and risks escalating humanitarian tensions as the flotilla nears Gaza’s territorial waters.
