Jerusalem, Jun 9: A Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists has been diverted to Israel, the Foreign Ministry said.

The passengers “are expected to return to their home countries,” it added, without providing further details.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which had organised the voyage to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and protest Israel’s blockade of the territory, said the activists had been “kidnapped by Israeli forces.”

Thunberg, a climate campaigner, was among 12 activists aboard the Madleen, which set sail from Sicily a week ago.

Israel had vowed to enforce its longstanding naval blockade of the territory, which it says is needed to prevent Hamas from importing.(AP)
