The Israeli troops have taken control of the British-flagged charity vessel Madleen, which had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. The boat–operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC)–with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg, is now heading to a port in Israel, officials said on Sunday.

The FCC posted a pre-recorded “SOS” video of Thunberg on X and said, " the volunteers on ‘Madleen’ have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!"

    We must demand that Israel release the hostages. If that requires bombing the country and cutting off all imports so be it

      Dude they have like tens of thousands of hostages.

      The problem with this is that they just re kidnap the hostages again shortly after.
