US EditionIsrael intercepts last Gaza flotilla boat, begins deportations
- Israel intercepted 39 of around 45 vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla bound for Gaza and announced it will deport activists to Europe.
- The flotilla began its voyage last month to challenge Israel's naval blockade amid the ongoing Gaza war sparked by Hamas' October 7 attack.
- Israeli officials stated that none of the boats violated the blockade or entered a combat area, while Greek authorities reported that the passengers remained unharmed and that no violent incidents occurred.
- Turkey condemned the interception as 'an act of terrorism' and opened an investigation after arrests of Turkish citizens, while Spain, Italy, Colombia, and South Africa strongly criticized the interceptions and urged activists' release.
- The interceptions triggered protests, legal probes in Spain and South Africa, and increased global solidarity with Palestinians amid tensions over Israel's blockade of Gaza.
