US EditionFlotilla with Greta Thunberg on Board Departs Spain for Gaza
The Global Sumud Flotilla, including activists from 44 countries and notable figures, halted its Gaza aid mission due to 35 mph winds after attempting to challenge the Israeli naval blockade.
- On August 31, 2025, the Global Sumud Flotilla, including Greta Thunberg, Liam Cunningham, and a Samidoun member, departed Barcelona for Gaza.
- The flotilla aimed to break Israel's 2007 naval blockade to deliver aid amidst nearly two years of conflict in Gaza despite Israel preparing to intercept it.
- Due to 35 mph winds and stormy seas, the flotilla conducted a sea trial but returned to Barcelona within hours to ensure safety and avoid risks.
- Samidoun, with ties to the PFLP terrorist group and co-founder Khaled Barakat banned by the US, had activists aboard, while Israel planned harsh detentions, calling the flotilla a propaganda stunt.
- The flotilla's return highlights ongoing tensions over Gaza aid efforts and Israel's stance on enforcing the blockade amid continuing hostilities in the region.
