An auxiliary boat bound in Gaza was illegally towed in international waters by Israeli armed forces to the port of Ashdod, with the dozen international activists who were now on board and deportation.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which created the ship to draw international attention to the impending famine in the besieged Gaza, said it was captured on Monday around 4:02 a.m. (01:02 GMT), about 200 km (120 miles) from Gaza, in Ashdod, fell as a night fur.
Previously, the coalition published a video of the ship that left Sicily on June 1st and the activists – including the climate activist Greta Thunberg, and the French member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan – with her hands as Israeli armed forces from the European Parliament and “kidnaps” and “kidnaps”.
Adalah, a Palestinian legal center that represents the activists, said that they are expected to be recorded in a prison before they are deported.
It was said that Israel had “no legal authority” to take over the ship in international waters and not to take over to Israel, but to the “territorial waters of the state of Palestine”.
The arrests of the 12 “unarmed activists” were “serious violation of international law”, it said in an explanation.
Huwaida Arraf, an FFC organizer, said Al Jazera that there was no contact with the activists since they were arrested in the early morning of the Monday.
“We have lawyers in standby who will ask for you to have access to you this evening – as soon as possible,” she said.
She found that the Madleen sailed under a flag of the United Kingdom when it was violently confiscated by Israeli commands.
“This is how Israel went into international waters and attacked confident British territory, which is obviously illegal. And we expect a strong conviction that we have not yet heard from the United Kingdom,” she said.
The British government called for Israel to cope with their detention of the activists “certainly with reluctance in accordance with international humanitarian law”.
“We have clarified our position in relation to the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The prime minister described them horribly and unbearable,” said a spokesman for Prime Minister Keir Sarmher.
Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteurs of the United Nations for the occupied Palestinian territory, said: “Israel has absolutely no authority to intercept and stop a boat like this, humanitarian aid and more than anything else, humanity, for people in Gaza.”
Al Jazeeras Nour Odeh, who reports about Jordan’s capital Amman, said the activists were accused of having illegally entered Israel.
“These activists did not intend to enter into Israel. They wanted to reach the banks of the Gaza Strip, who are not part of Israel,” she said.
“But that’s how they are processed and they are therefore deported.”
“A form of piracy”
Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs portrayed the journey as public relations and said in a post on X that “the” selfie -yacht “of the” celebrities “surely reached the banks of Israel”.
The passengers were “subjected to medical examinations to ensure that they are in good health”, and added that all passengers were expected to return to their home countries.
The spokesman for the government, David Mencer, reserved special contempt for the 22-year-old Thunberg. “Greta has not brought any help, she brought herself. And she is not here for Gaza, let’s be blunt. She is here for Greta,” he said.
In a recorded video message that was shared by the FFC, Thunberg said: “I ask all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as quickly as possible.”
The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it was in contact with the Israeli authorities.
“If the need for consular support occurs, the message and the Foreign Ministry will assess how we can best help the Swedish citizen/Greta Thunberg to solve their situation,” said a spokesman in a written statement to the Reuters news agency.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, who aimed at Thunberg in 2019, dismissed her explanation. “I think Israel has enough problems to kidnap Greta Thunberg,” he said.
The French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said that the President asked the Israeli authorities to publish the six French nationals on board as soon as possible and to describe the humanitarian blockade of Gaza as “scandal” and “shame”.
Turkey condemned to intercept as a “hideous attack”, while Iran denounced it as a “form of piracy” in international waters.
The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz said that the activists were committed to the atrocities committed in October 7, 2023 on October 7, 2023 on southern Israel.
Hamas condemned the confiscation of the boat as “state terrorism” and said it welcomed its activists.
Further murders at the auxiliary distribution point
On the ground in Gaza, the Israeli forces continued their rush and have killed 60 Palestinians since dawn, according to medical sources, which spoke to Al Jazera.
Among them were three doctors who were killed in Gaza city, as well as 13 hungry aids who were killed in the southern Gaza aid distribution area near an Israeli and the USA.
Since the end of May, the Shadowy Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) has been killed near distribution points since the end of May.
Israel hired the group to distribute help in the middle of his entire blockade for all imports, including food, fuel and medicine, when Israel increased his offensive after completing her ceasefire with Hamas in March.
The United Nations and other auxiliary groups have refused to work with the GHF and accused them of not enabling neutrality and suggests that the group was formed so that Israel can achieve its declared military goal of adopting Gaza strip.
“The Israeli authorities have blocked the delivery of safe and dignified help on the GAZA people for over three months,” said the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, on Monday.
“We do not ask for the impossible. Allow us to do our work: people in need and keep their dignity,” it said.
On Monday, Israeli aircraft also bombed tents that protect the displaced families on Al-Katiba-Platz in Gaza Strip and cause additional deaths and injuries.
They also aimed at the buildings of Shaarawi and Haddad in the Tuffah district, east of Gaza City, which led to several victims.
At least one person was killed and others injured in an artillery attack in the Old Gaza Street in Jabalia in the north.
Since the beginning of the war, Israel has killed at least 54,927 people in Gaza Strip, a number that is estimated on the actual number of fatalities.
