Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Greta Thunberg And The Boat Intercepted By Israel

The Israel Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying, “The ‘selfie yacht’ carrying Greta Thunberg and the other so-called ‘celebrities’ is continuing its journey toward an Israeli port. Upon arrival, arrangements will be made for their return to their respective home countries.” They further posted a video saying that the members of the ship were “safe and unharmed” and “provided with sandwiches and water.” Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, further said they will be shown footage of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.  

Israel has further claimed that “more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks” and “the tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ‘celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels.” It’s worth noting that the UN has estimated that around 600 trucks would be needed daily.
