Greta Thunberg: “kidnapped by lsrael”

A video clip circulating on X shows Greta Thunberg calmly stating she has been “kidnapped by Israel,” after Israeli forces boarded a British-flagged yacht en route to Gaza. The yacht, Madleen, was seized before dawn on Sunday while attempting to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The boat, carrying a dozen passengers including Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, was part of a symbolic humanitarian effort organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. It held basic supplies – rice, baby formula, and a message of protest.

Thunberg’s “selfie yacht”

Israeli authorities confirmed they commandeered the vessel in international waters, calling it a publicity stunt “in support of Hamas.” The government claimed all passengers were safe, provided with food and water, and would be deported.

In a jab on X, Israel’s Foreign Ministry dismissed the mission as a “selfie yacht” spectacle. The Defense Minister added that the boat’s interception was a matter of national security.

Thunberg and Hassan both posted online about the boarding. A photo shows the crew sitting with life jackets on, hands raised, as Israeli soldiers took control.

The aid will reportedly be sent to Gaza “through real humanitarian channels,” according to Israeli officials.
