Israel Defence Minister Israel Katz on Sunday ordered the military to block an aid boat headed for Gaza with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
"I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza," Israel Katz said in a statement from his office.
"To Greta the antisemite and her companions, Hamas propaganda mouthpieces, I say clearly: turn back because you will not reach Gaza," Katz said.
The organisers of the Madleen's voyage said Saturday they had reached Egyptian waters and were nearing Gaza, where the war between Israel and Hamas has entered its 21st month.

Greta Thunberg, detained by Israeli forces alongside other Freedom Flotilla Coalition activists, has claimed she was kidnapped.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has directed the military to show the detained group, who attempted to breach Israel’s Gaza blockade, a 43-minute video produced by the IDF spokesperson’s office, according to a statement from his office. The graphic, uncensored footage captures the brutal attacks and mutilations from October 7, 2023, much of it recorded by terrorists’ bodycams.
Katz stated that the screening, to be held after the activists’ boat is towed to Ashdod following its interception near the Gaza coast, aims to reveal the true nature of Hamas and the atrocities committed against women, children, and the elderly, underscoring Israel’s defensive stance. The video, titled “Bearing Witness,” has been presented to journalists and public figures globally to build support for Israel’s campaign against Hamas, though its use has sparked some debate. Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry shared an image of Thunberg in her distinctive frog hat, accepting a sandwich from a soldier.
