Israel warns it will stop aid flotilla reaching Gaza

Israel has declared it will take necessary measures to prevent the pro-Palestinian boat, Madleen, from reaching Gaza, where it is carrying humanitarian aid and activists, including Greta Thunberg. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) would act against any attempts to breach the naval blockade aimed at preventing weapon transfers to Hamas. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which organized the voyage, condemned these threats, asserting their right to deliver aid in international waters.
