The IDF boarded the Madleen early on Monday, taking the crew and the ship to the Port of Ashdod, where they would be sent back to their respective countries.

Israeli forces intercepted the British-flagged aid vessel Madleen, carrying Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists, as it attempted to breach the Gaza blockade. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition called it an ‘abduction’,

Gaza became a “graveyard of international law” not just for Palestinians but for all people, says a Palestinian lawyer.

U.N. member nations have voted overwhelmingly to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, and unrestricted access for the delivery of desperately needed food.

Mirjana Spoljaric, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), told the BBC on Wednesday that the enclave had become “worse than hell on earth” and that states are not doing enough to end the war, end the suffering of Palestinians and secure the release of Israeli hostages.

Greta Thunberg says she hasn't heard of allegations some involved in the Freedom Flotilla aid mission supported Hamas.

Israel's foreign ministry has branded it a "selfie yacht", while Thunberg says she has been "kidnapped" after Israeli forces boarded the vessel.

Recalling that Israel intercepted the British-flagged ship in international waters, the LFI noted that this is also a violation of international maritime law. They also called on the international community to strongly condemn the interception and called on Israel to immediately and unconditionally release the activists.
