A flotilla carrying 500 activists, including three New Zealanders and Greta Thunberg, has been intercepted by Israeli forces off Gaza’s coast.
Among those on board was 18-year-old Samuel Leason from Ōtaki, who posted that his boat, the Sirius, had reached what appeared to be a naval blockade before being seized.
Israel called the Global Sumud Flotilla a provocation, insisting aid could have been delivered through safe channels, while activists said their mission aimed to challenge the blockade.
New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed it was in contact with Israeli authorities and reiterated expectations that citizens involved be treated in line with international law.
Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port.

Since when did Israel care about international law. They are behaving like criminals in Gaza. I hope these brave people are safe but its a risk, to say the least.
Thanks for the “support” Meloni. Chicken shit.
Italy to end support for Gaza flotilla as Israeli action looms.

Yeah Italy has a close relationship them apparently…..makes you wonder who the true Marfia is, right?
Israel, will soon belong to Rome.
There is no International Law
And no freedom of navigation
Only a rouge pariah failed state
A Law unto itself
The best money can buy
Why anyone from outside of hell (aka The Middle East) would want to endanger themselves in such pointless fashion is beyond me. We teach kids to not stick their hands in the 🔥. Same analogy.
The urge to virtue signal is stronger than common sense for some people.
We saw it only a few years ago when hundreds of them willingly injected a carcinogen into their veins just to prove some point to those of us urging caution.
Deliberately sailing into an active war zone is right on brand.
They dumb.
Concur 💯
Genocide isn’t war mate……from someone who’s unvaccinated BTW………

Still stupid of woke sh!tlibs to sail headlong into it for TikTok likes 🤷🏼♂️
Israel says that they will transport the terrorist sympathisers to an Israeli port (probably Ashdod) and they will then be deported.
This is, frankly, unacceptable. Every member of this disgusting Hamas loving propaganda flotilla should be arrested – or eliminated if they resist arrest – and incarcerated with all the captured ‘Palestinian’ terrorists who they love so much. Deportation should not be on the table. That’s what Israel did the first time that this revolting creature performed this stunt and she only came back again, this time with even more of her deluded rabble.
How long does Israel have to put up with this before they learn?
Oh dear has poor genocidal Israel been inconvenienced……lets all cry some crocodile tears, shall we…………….
Israel need to be isolated, sanctioned and its leadership sent to the Hague to be prosecuted for war crimes. Any other outcome is, frankly, unacceptable.
I could think of a few other solutions
Genocidals will have to put it with it untill they are erased from the middel east
Awesome… not
