Israel’s defence minister has ordered the military to stop an aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza.
Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, has ordered the military to block an aid boat headed for Gaza, carrying 12 activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
The ship, Madleen, was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and is en route to Gaza with humanitarian aid, as the Palestinian enclave faces severe food shortages due to Israel’s months-long blockade.
Israeli media report that the Navy plans to intercept the vessel as far from Gaza’s coast as possible to allow the crew time to turn back.
Officials say the boat will be boarded by commandos and taken to Ashdod port if it refuses to turn around.
