Thunberg Accuses Israel of Kidnap After Gaza Aid Boat Intercepted

  • On June 9, Israeli naval forces intercepted the British-flagged aid yacht Madleen carrying Greta Thunberg and 11 activists near Gaza and took control of the vessel.
  • The activists aimed to break a years-old Israeli naval blockade to deliver humanitarian aid including food and medical supplies to Gaza, but Israel cited violation of the blockade as cause for intervention.
  • Thunberg and others were detained onboard, denied signing deportation documents, and later deported to France on June 10 amid claims by Thunberg of being kidnapped in international waters against their will.
  • Thunberg asserted that she and her group were forcibly taken in international waters and demanded their immediate release, urging the international community to apply pressure on Israel.
  • Following the interception, protests occurred on June 10 demanding aid access and an end to the blockade, while Israel maintains the activists’ voyage was a public relations stunt and the aid will enter Gaza via official channels.
