The terrorist environmentalist Greta Thunberg was detained on a refugee boat.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is at the center of a new international confrontation after embarking on a maritime mission to Gaza aboard the Madleen ship, as part of a symbolic action for publicity purposes regarding the situation in the region, as well as to carry out pro-Hamas propaganda.

The Israeli government, led by Defense Minister Israel Katz, has vowed to prevent the vessel from reaching Gaza's shores, labeling the mission as a threat to national security.

Thunberg is part of a group of 11 activists of various nationalities, including citizens from Germany, France, Brazil, Türkiye, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands, who make up the so-called Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), the organization behind the mission. Among the terrorists is also Rima Hassan, a French MEP of Palestinian origin who has previously been banned from entering Israel.

The Madleen ship departed from the port of Catania, in Sicily (Italy), on June 1 and, as of Sunday evening, was about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. The vessel is carrying a symbolic amount of "humanitarian aid," but its main objective is political and media-related.

Israel has warned that it will not allow the ship to break the naval blockade imposed on Gaza for years. In a strong statement, Minister Katz said: "I've instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to act and prevent the flotilla of hate from reaching Gaza's shores, taking all necessary measures."

Katz also directly attacked Thunberg, whom he accused of being antisemitic and spreading Hamas propaganda. "To Greta and her friends, I say clearly: you'd better turn back, because you won't reach Gaza," he added.

In response to these accusations, the activists aboard the Madleen rejected the Israeli narrative and accused the government of threatening the illegal use of force against civilians. "We won't be intimidated. The world is watching," the FFC said in a statement.

During the early hours of Monday, an alarm was triggered on the Madleen due to a possible interception. According to a voice message shared on Telegram by Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, the ship was briefly surrounded by lights that appeared to come from other vessels, but these later moved away without incident.

Israel has reported that it intercepted the vessel and the crew will be detained, taken to Israel, and deported. After being detained, the activists supporting terrorism were given water and food, which reinforces the IDF's commitment to the safety and well-being of the crew.
