Israeli forces intercepted the Madleen, a yacht carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg, a French lawmaker, and ten others, attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. Thunberg claims they were "kidnapped," while Israel’s foreign ministry dismissed the effort as a "selfie yacht" with "less than a single truckload" of aid. The vessel is expected to arrive in Ashdod, though reports of its docking remain unclear. A small protest has formed in Ashdod supporting Gaza. The Palestinian foreign ministry demanded safety guarantees for the activists, and a UN official called for more aid ships to sail in unison to break the blockade. (PC: BBC)
