💨 Abstract

Israel intercepted and will deport pro-Palestinian activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla, which aimed to deliver aid to Gaza. The flotilla, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, was stopped by the Israeli navy. Israel claims the vessels did not breach its maritime blockade. The activists, including Mandla Mandela, will be deported to Europe. The flotilla organizers and several countries condemned the interception, with protests and diplomatic actions following.
