Israel Katz threatens to use 'all necessary measures' to stop Gaza-bound aid ship

Source: Guardian

The Israeli defence minister has threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent a humanitarian ship carrying climate campaigner Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza.

The ‘Madleen’, a boat operated by the activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), says it is attempting to reach the shores of the territory to bring in a symbolic amount of aid and raise international awareness of the continuing humanitarian crisis.

But on Sunday, Israel Katz ordered the Israeli military to stop the ship from getting anywhere near Gaza.

“I have instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to act so that the hate flotilla … does not reach the shores of Gaza – and to take all necessary measures to that end,” Katz said in a statement.

Yes. Technically, I think, hijacking and kidnapping. Now part of Netanyahu's legacy of crimes. highplainsdem Jun 2025 #6

So trying to aid dying babies and children is now hate. Must be employing the same publicist as the Trump administration.
Just admit that you want them all dead and be done with it. Even high ranking officials in Israel
are saying this is wrong.

... so you would fire on a civilian vessel in international waters because they intend to feed starving children?
Do you have even the remotest idea how contemptible you appear to the world at large when you make statements like that?
