US EditionFreedom Flotilla Coalition Gives Update on 12 Madleen Crew Detained by Israel
- On early Monday morning, Israeli forces intercepted and seized the Madleen in international waters about 200 kilometers off the Israeli coast while it was en route to Gaza with humanitarian aid and 12 crew members.
- The interception occurred because Israel warned it would stop the Madleen, claiming the crew attempted to breach a naval blockade, though the Freedom Flotilla Coalition argues the seizure violates international law.
- Following the seizure, the crew was forcibly taken to Ashdod port and then detained in Israel, where four crew members, including activist Greta Thunberg, were deported and eight remain imprisoned with 100-year entry bans.
- Crew members reported being denied legal contact, pressured to sign false deportation documents, and many detainees, including French MEP Rima Hassan, are held in solitary confinement amid international condemnation.
- This incident raises legal and humanitarian concerns, as the detention is considered arbitrary and illegal by several groups, highlighting challenges in delivering humanitarian aid amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
