Israel intercepted a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza and detained 443 activists, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. The boats, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, were stopped in international waters, which critics called illegal. Israel said the vessels violated its naval blockade. Colombia expelled Israeli diplomats and ended its trade deal with Israel, calling the act a “crime.” Amnesty International called the blockade unlawful, while protests erupted across Europe and Asia. Israel said all detainees are “safe and healthy.” The flotilla had sailed from Spain with food and medicine for Gaza, where UN reports confirm famine. (PC: BBC)
