Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid, including climate activist Greta Thunberg. The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) activists were detained by the Israeli navy, prompting accusations of an "illegal" interception to maintain Gaza's isolation. Protests erupted globally, with Colombian President expelling Israeli diplomats in response to the interception, urging adherence to international law. Reports indicate seven Irish citizens, including Sinn Féin senator Chris Andrews, were among those detained aboard the flotilla.
