The Israeli military has stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla from breaking its starvation blockade on the Gaza Strip and has arrested hundreds of activists who were on board the vessels, including American citizens, attempting to bring food to starving Palestinians.
Israeli navy vessels escort vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla to Ashdod Port, after Israel intercepted some of the vessels of the Flotilla aiming to reach Gaza and break Israel’s naval blockade, in southern Israel, October 2, 2025.
The Irish government has said that at least 14 Irish citizens, including a senator, have been detained by Israeli forces.
Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said the interception was “unacceptable” and said he summoned the Israeli foreign minister to Belgium.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the Israeli Navy had captured 40 flotilla boats and was bringing them and the activists to Israel, from where they will be deported.
