Israel intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla vessels, detains hundreds of activists
(The Newsmakers/TRT) Oct. 2, 2025: Militant Israeli forces state-sponsored pirates illegally intercepted and boarded several Global Sumud Flotilla vessels in international waters on Wednesday, which have been sailing to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver aid.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, along with hundreds of other activists, were detained, kidnapped, and forcibly taken to Israel.
PM Netanyahu’s government had previously vowed to do "whatever it takes" to stop the humanitarian flotilla from reaching starving, war-torn Gaza.
The international community has condemned Israel for creating a manmade famine and abduction at sea, denouncing its actions as a breach of international maritime law.
To debate that and more TRT is joined by one of the flotilla’s activists aboard the boat Shireen. She shares her first-hand experience of the live situation at sea and the risks involved.
Guests: Political analyst and contributor to Haaretz Akiva Eldar, Palestinian writer and analyst Kamel Hawwash, and human rights campaigner Caoimhe Butterly. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #Israel #theNewsmakers

This is what Trump’s 20-point plan, released on Monday, would really mean for Gaza. “The priority is going to be investment…making that money and the kickbacks,” Scahill warns, comparing it to Iraq after 2003, with Tony Blair is set to oversee redevelopment. “Colonial powers always used the local population to test out whatever new technologies, new theories, new medicines,” he says.
