Israel Intercepts Gaza Aid Flotilla, Arrests Greta Thunberg

Welcome again to world brief, where we look at it IsraelActivists and aid bouts are binding Gazaand FranceThe arrest of the crew members on board Russian Shadow carrier, and the fatal protests led by young people in Morocco.

The Israeli navy intercepted a jump from small boats and detained hundreds of activists who were trying to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip early Thursday morning. According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the detained activists will be brought to the beach to Israel before facing the deportation to Europe.

Somoud Somoud, which consists of at least 40 ships, was launched from Spain in late August with about 500 participants, including climate activist Greta Thonberg and Nakosi Zvelvillelillelille, the grandson of Nelson Mandela. Activists aim to create a naval corridor for humanitarian assistance by penetrating the Israeli maritime blockade of the Gaza tape, which it carried out after Hamas seized power in the region in 2007.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday that the navy “contacted” with the fleet “and asked them to change the path” before going up and seizing 39 ships. None of the ships were able to violate the Israeli siege, though. MechenoIt appears to enter the territorial waters in Gaza, according to the Flotilla Tracking website, which has been included as “supposed to intercede” at the time of writing this report. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said: “If it approaches, its attempt to enter the active fighting zone and the breaking of the siege will be prevented,” adding, “If it approaches, its attempt to enter the active fighting area and violating the siege will be prevented.”

The fleet organizers moved to social media to condemn what he called “an illegal attack on unarmed humanity”, saying that the majority of boats were in international waters and outside the Israeli authority. South African President Cyril Ramavusa agreed. He called on Israel’s actions as an “another serious crime” in a post on X.

This is not the first time that the fleet has tried to violate the siege of Israel. In June, 12 activists on board Madeleine The ship – including Thunberg – was seized in international waters and was transferred to Israel. All 12 activists, who belong to the FRIDILLLa Alliance, were deported at the end.

Israel has received widespread criticism of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations has officially announced that famine in Gaza in August, and informed the United Nations Population Fund in late September that more than half a million people in the pocket are starving. In March, Israel closed the entire lands of food and other aid for two and a half months, and nearly 1,400 Palestinians in or near relief distribution sites since May 27. According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, most of these Israeli army were killed. In September, an independent United Nations investigation committee announced that Israel’s behavior in Gaza fulfilled the standards of genocide.

Although it failed to reach the beaches of Gaza, the fleet highlights the demands of the international community to help – and peace – in the pocket. During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, US President Donald Trump revealed a 20 -point peace plan, which, among other measures, requires sending “full assistance” to Gaza by land, in the event of Hamas’s approval of the plan. Since the world is waiting for its response, experts expect the group to request great reviews.

It was also one of three ships linked to Russia, which was seen near Denmark when unidentified drones flew into the Danish airspace near military facilities and airports at the end of last month.

Participants at the European Political Society Summit in Copenhagen discovered another reason for European unity: Trump’s geopolitical hormone. On the sidelines of a meeting on Thursday, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama withdrew Macron to a fun conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. “You should make an apology,” Rama said, shaking his finger in Macron. “You did not congratulate us on the peace agreement concluded by President Trump between Albania and Azerbaijan.”

Rama was referring to Trump’s demand for Fox News last month that it was a “non -solution” war between Azerbaijan and Albania. (Armenia Azerbaijan’s deal, which helped the mediator in August-one of seven justifications he presented to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.)

After Rama’s progress, European leaders took Trump’s boast of good spirits. Aliyev laughed at the observation, and Macron RAM was linked to the cheek. “I’m sorry for that,” he said.
