International waters have become the flashpoint for a global firestorm after Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), detaining hundreds of activists, including high-profile climate campaigner Greta Thunberg. The convoy, laden with humanitarian aid destined for Gaza, was stopped in a dramatic confrontation that has ignited widespread outrage, sparking mass protests and escalating the fierce debate over Israel's controversial blockade.
In a statement, Israel's foreign ministry confirmed the flotilla was redirected to the port of Ashdod, where activists are now being processed for deportation. Israeli officials described the convoy as 'provocation yachts,' arguing that the mission was a deliberate attempt to breach a lawful naval blockade.
