The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed that Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and her friends were “safe and healthy" after Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, as part of its latest effort to break an Israeli blockade of the Palestinian enclave.
Thunberg’s ship was among those the Israeli navy intercepted after Israel warned the flotilla against entering the waters it says fall under its blockade, with Israel’s foreign ministry posting footage of the 22-year-old retrieving her belongings.
“Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port. Greta and her friends are safe and healthy," said the ministry on X.
