Israeli forces stop Tunberg’s yacht and hold activists / day

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs called this trip as a public relations measure, stating that « celebrity selfie yacht » was diverted to the coast of Israel.

The ministry announced that passengers would return to their home countries and that assistance would be delivered to Gaza through certain channels. Later, it distributed staff showing Israeli military personnel dividing activists dressed in orange life jackets, sandwiches and water.

« While Greta and others tried to organize a media provocation, the sole purpose of which was to attract public attention and covered less than one truck with humanitarian aid, more than 1,200 trucks from Israel in the last two weeks have emerged from humanitarian aid, and the Gaza Humanitarian Fund has distributed about 11 million food portions directly to Gaza’s civilians. »

The yacht « Madleen », which belongs to the so -called Freedom Fleet Coalition, left Italy on June 1, with activists claiming that it aims to overcome the Gaza Strock blockade organized by Israeli and bring humanitarian aid to Hamas.

The yacht also houses Rim Hasan, a member of the European Parliament, who is a member of the French Left Extremist Party’s « disobedient France » (LFI) and has previously been noted with scandalous statements about the Middle East.

She planned to visit Israeli occupied Palestinian territories in February in the European Parliament delegation, but Israel did not allow her to enter.
