On October 1, 2025, the Israeli Navy intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, detaining activists including Swedish climate advocate Greta Thunberg. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage showing the vessels sprayed with water cannons. Israel labeled the flotilla as provocative and linked to Hamas, while organizers called the interception illegal, alleging ramming and communication interference during a peaceful mission. The incident sparked global outrage, with protests in Italy, Greece, Argentina, Tunisia, Colombia, and Mexico. Despite the interception, organizers vowed to continue highlighting Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, intensifying international attention and debate.
