An Israeli Heron drone is actively circling the #Handala.
We are currently at coordinates N 31.990316° E 32.802406°, 90 NM from Gaza and beyond the point where the #Madleen was illegally intercepted.
We must demand immediate action for Gaza.
Pressure your governments to stop enabling genocide and let the Handala proceed safely to Gaza.
For 146 days, they have stood by while the Israeli occupation blocks life-saving aid and starves an entire population.
End the blockade. Stop the genocide. Let the aid through

...and another update from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition:

Yanis Mhamdi, from his prison cell: “If I had to do it all over again, I'd do exactly the same thing”.
Illegally detained in Israel since the attack on the “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” in international waters, journalist Yanis Mhamdi sent us a letter, written from his prison cell, before news had reached him of a possible one month extension due to Israel's attacks on Iran.

This is appalling. #Sweden is abdicating its obligations under the Vienna Convention to protect and support one of its citizens abroad. If you’re Swedish, I hope you’re organizing and calling your elected officials and representatives. I hope you give Maria Malmer Stenergard, the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, an earful. Preferably, in person.
Stenergard said today Thunberg doesn’t need consular support and blamed Thunberg for saturating the consular hotline after calling on followers to pressure the government. Is she fucking kidding? That is not Thunberg’s fault. And with all due respect to every other swede abroad who might rightfully need consular services, are they on a humanitarian mission to provide aid to people under illegal occupation? The Swedish Minister needs to get a grip.
You would think Emmanuel Macron would be absolutely enraged to learn that Israel has illegally arrested French citizens outside of Israeli territorial waters, including a French official elected in the European Parliament.
And yet, his silence is deafening.
The Elysée and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs have finally reacted in statements released to the press. Neither condemns Israel's illegal arrest in international waters, nor do they acknowledge its ongoing illegal blockade of humanitarian aid.
> “France wants to “facilitate the swift return” of the six French nationals aboard the humanitarian ship Madleen, which was attempting to reach Gaza and was intercepted overnight by Israeli authorities, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Monday. “Immediately after the ship was boarded, we requested to exercise our consular protection for them” and to “visit them” as soon as they arrive on Israeli territory, “in order to assess their situation and facilitate their swift return to France,” he said in a statement sent to the press.”
> “The French president “has requested that the six French nationals aboard the Madleen be allowed to return to France as soon as possible,” the Élysée Palace said on Monday.”

Interception du « Madleen » : la France veut s’assurer du « retour rapide » de ses ressortissants, assure le ministre des affaires étrangères
La France veut « faciliter [le] retour rapide » des six ressortissants français se trouvant à bord du bateau humanitaire le Madleen, qui tentait de rallier Gaza et a été intercepté pendant la nuit par les autorités israéliennes, a déclaré lundi le chef de la diplomatie française, Jean-Noël Barrot.
« Dès l’arraisonnement du navire, nous avons demandé à pouvoir exercer notre protection consulaire à leur égard » et à leur « rendre visite » dès qu’ils auront rejoint le territoire israélien, « en vue de s’assurer de leur situation et de faciliter leur retour rapide en France », a-t-il dit dans une déclaration transmise à la presse.](https://cdn.nileane.fr/media_attachments/files/114/652/821/716/350/298/original/96ba3addf0964689.jpeg)
Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur with the United Nations, who was speaking with the crew of the Madleen as they were being attacked by Israel in international waters, repeats that:
“Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.”
“Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.”

Israel military kidnapped the activists on international waters. It's against international law and a war crime. After a foto-session showing the kidnapped being well and given food, Israeli forces disappeared the activists.

So it's happened: Israel has seemingly arrested the crew of a humanitarian ship, including a European MP onboard, in international waters, and in complete disregard for international law.
Their impunity is through the roof.

And yet, his silence is deafening.
“The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E. The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies—confiscated.”

Strange night seeing the #Madleen boarded illegally by #Israel and its passengers kidnapped while, halfway around the world, the United States turns its armed forces against its own citizens shows how fleeting democracy is. These two nations still call themselves that when they probably haven't been for years.
We will have to start over. This doesn't end with an election.
ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!
The #Madleen has been attacked and boarded by the IOF.
It is unknown what is currently happening, as the crew are believed to have been forced to throw their phones overboard to prevent communication with the outside world.
Other methods of communication have been jammed.
The Instagram page has started filling with pre-recorded messages, as the crew's dead man switches are tripped, informing us that the vessel has been boarded and its crew kidnapped by the IOF.

EDIT: Forget "likely". They are now hostages.
confirmed: Israeli forces have boarded the Madleen and arrested all on board including Greta - the ship was still in international waters so this is illegal
So it's happened: Israel has seemingly arrested the crew of a humanitarian ship, including a European MP onboard, in international waters, and in complete disregard for international law.
Their impunity is through the roof.
French journalist Yanis Mhamdi (working for @blast_info) aboard the #Madleen, at 1:49 AM CEST:
“I am a journalist, and after covering the Freedom Flotilla convoy for a week, my arrest by the Israeli army is imminent. Humanitarians and journalists should not be arrested. I call on all my colleagues to mobilize.”
