On October 2, 2025, Israel intercepted nearly all boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a humanitarian mission delivering aid to Gaza. Over 450 activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained about 70 nautical miles from Gaza, while only one vessel, the Marinette, evaded capture. The detainees are set to be deported after temporary processing at Ketziot Prison. The operation sparked international outrage, with protests across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Turkey called it “thuggery,” South Africa demanded release of its nationals, and the UN urged adherence to humanitarian law. Israel cited self-defense under its blockade.
