Boats of activists in Gaza in Gaza, which was intercepted by the Israeli forces, tens of miles from the Gaza coast

Jerusalem – The Israeli naval forces took most of the ships and detained dozens of activists and a number of European legislators on a flock trying to break the Israeli siege in Gaza on Thursday, which led to a condemnation from all over the world. The organizers of Somoud Somoud International said that one of the boats had managed to sail, but they stopped near the Gaza coast Thursday morning before the connection with the ship was lost.

The fleet organizers said that 39 of their boats were intercepted – or they objected to their objection that communication with activists was lost – in an Israeli operation that started the night before. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that activists from the boats, including the Swedish climate campaign Greta Thonberg, were safe and being transferred to Israel.

in Social media yetThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that activists and their boats “make their way safely and safely to Israel, where the deportation procedures will begin in Europe. The passengers are safe and in good health.”

Somoud Somoud, which consists of about 50 boats and 500 activists, was trying to carry a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The group, which includes the grandson of Nelson Mandela, Mandilla Mandela, former Barcelona mayor Ada Colo and several European legislators, said earlier that she remained without a response in her mission to break the Israeli siege in Gaza and bring help to the Palestinians.

Greg Stoker, an old American military warriors, said on board Owayla, one of the boats in the fleet, that about ten Israeli naval ships with their respondents had approached them early on Thursday.

He said in a fragile video on Instagram: “They are currently having our ships, telling us to turn off our engines and wait for more instructions, or our boats will be seized and we will face the consequences.” The Israeli authorities used water cannons against some boats, Sticker and other activists reported on social media.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a video on X showing Thunberg sitting on the deck that was delivered with a bottle of water and rain coat.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told the Italian television network Ray that the boats will be withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdoud and activists will be deported in the coming days. He also said that the Israeli forces were told “not to use violence.”

Some fleet ships I was attacked by drones While it was established opposite Tunisia, then later During sailing near Greece. Done -drones raised fires on two boats in Tunisian waters, according to fleet organizers, and the Tunisian authorities confirmed that they were at least at least one attack as a “deliberate act”.

Tunisia nor Greece has accused anyone of responsibility for drone attacks.

The Israeli army has never responded to CBS requests to comment on accidents.

Israel draws a condemnation of the objection of Potla Gaza

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Türkiye condemned the objection of the boats it condemns as a “terrorist act” and the violation of the severe law of international law. In a statement, the ministry said it is taking initiatives to ensure the immediate release of Turkish citizens and other travelers detained by the Israeli forces.

Colombia President Gustavo Petro said late on Wednesday that he will expel the Israeli diplomatic delegation in the country of South America if the Israeli army intercepts the fleet. He said he would also end his country’s free trade agreement with Israel.

Petro has repeatedly described the siege of Israel in Gaza as genocide. He broke diplomatic relations with Israel in May 2024 during Israel’s warThis leads to the departure of Ambassador Ghali Dagan, but there is still an unlimited number of consular service employees in Colombia.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also condemned the fleet’s objection, saying that the Israeli forces had detained eight Malaysians.

“By preventing a humanitarian mission, Israel has shown complete contempt not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world,” Anwar said in a statement.

European governments, including Spain and Italy, who sent their naval ships to accompany the fleet during part of their journey, have urged activists to return and avoid confrontation. However, while Italy’s President Georgia Meloni said late on Tuesday that the fleet’s actions may risk undermining the president Trump’s latest proposal to resolve the war in GazaPrime Minister in Spain defended them.

“It must be remembered that it is a humanitarian mission that will not happen if the Israeli government allows aid to enter,” Pedro Sanchez told reporters on Wednesday. He added that the Spaniards will participate in full diplomatic protection.

“They do not represent any threat or danger to Israel,” he said.

The Spain government summoned the best Israeli diplomat in the country for discussions on Thursday’s objections.

“We are very concerned about the situation with Somoud Boutela, we are in contact with the families of a number of British citizens concerned,” Britain’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “The aid carried by the fleet must be delivered to the humanitarian organizations on the ground for safe delivery to Gaza.”

South African President Cyril Ramavusa confirmed that Mandilla Mandela was among those on the ships, and they condemned their objection as evidence of Israeli violations of international law and demanded the immediate release of “deceptive fries.”

The fleet boats were intercepted when they entered the “danger zone” approaching Gaza

The ships were sailing in international waters in northern Egypt and entered what activists and others called the “danger zone”. While it is still in international waters, it is an area where the Israeli navy has stopped other boats that are trying to break the siege in the past, which were warned of the infection of its transit.

After a tense confrontation with two Israeli military ships in the early hours of Wednesday, the activists resumed their journey and were broadcasting their journey on the matches of many boats. Some activists have held messages of solidarity with people in Gaza, and “Free Palestine!” On the camera. Music can be heard while playing in the background.

With the fall of the night, they discovered through the radar many microscopic ships approaching and put their lives before the imminent Israeli army arrived. Some activists managed to broadcast the moment when the Israeli forces dealt with live from their smartphones before throwing their devices in the water.

The organizers said earlier that the fleet, which started its journey from the Spanish port of Barcelona a month ago, was to reach the shores of Gaza on Thursday morning.

Activists admitted that the scenario was unlikely and they expected the Israeli authorities to try to stop them at any moment, as they did in previous attempts.

But this fleet, with dozens of boats, was the biggest attempt to break the Israeli maritime blockade in the 18 -year Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Israeli navy had contacted the fleet earlier on Wednesday, warning them that they were approaching the “active fighting zone” and asked them to change the path, as the Israeli Foreign Ministry said, it released its offer to transfer aid to Gaza through other channels. Jideon’s Foreign Minister Sar described that the fleet was provocative.

The government of Israel accused some members of the fleet of enthusiasm, while providing few evidence to support this claim. Activists strongly rejected the accusations and said that Israel was trying to justify the potential attacks on it.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that the state has only a jurisdiction of up to 12 nautical miles of its beaches. In general, countries do not have the right to seize ships in international waters, although armed conflict is an exception to this.

Joal Shani, an expert in international law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said that as long as the Gaza blockade in Gaza in Israel “has something justified by a military” – aimed at keeping weapons – and the ship aims to break the siege, Israel can intercept the bowl after a prior warning. Whether the siege has a justification for militarily and that the legitimacy of the siege is a point of disagreement.

But the fleet argues that they are an unarmed civil group and that the approval of humanitarian aid is guaranteed in international law.

Omer Shatuz, an expert on Israeli international law, who is studying at the University of Sciences Po in Paris and participated in the development of a previous previous case before the Israeli Supreme Court, told the Associated Press that even if the disputed siege on Gaza is legal, international law wears a humanitarian path from the supreme seas to Gaza-both in Watermers Watsat National.

“If the basic needs of the population are not provided by the occupied force, there is the right to provide humanitarian aid, even if it is under certain circumstances,” Shatz said. Israel, for example, will have the right to ascend to ascend and search for vascular assistance to verify their charge, similar to what it does with aid trucks crossing in Gaza by land.
