Israeli forces seize Gaza aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg, ministry says

The boat was aiming to deliver a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza later on Monday and raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis there

The Tánaiste has said that the seizure of an aid boat approaching Gaza raises a question of how the world has come to this.

Israeli forces have taken command of a charity vessel that had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and the boat with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg is now heading to a port in Israel.
