Turkey and Israel are locked in a fresh diplomatic confrontation after Ankara reportedly sought an Interpol Red Notice for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

The dispute centres on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which sailed toward Gaza carrying hundreds of activists before Israeli forces intercepted the vessels in the Mediterranean and detained those on board.

Turkey has accused Netanyahu and others of serious crimes, while Israel has rejected the allegations and sharply attacked the Turkish government.

The wider controversy comes as Britain, Canada and Australia condemn Israel’s decision to close a probe into the 2024 strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza.

Baghei said that the Sumud Flotilla was formed with supporters and human rights activists from across the world to deliver aid to one of the most horrendous humanitarian crises unfolding in Palestine.

<h2><strong>Israel intercepts Gaza aid flotilla</strong></h2><p>Thunberg's flotilla, called the Global Sumud Flotilla, set sail from Spain last month with around 45 vessels, aiming to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver symbolic supplies. Organisers said three boats—the Sirius, Alma, and Adara—were intercepted about 70 nautical miles from the Gaza coast. In a statement, as reported by AFP, Global Sumud Flotilla said, "Around 8:30 pm Gaza time (1730 GMT), several vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla, including the Alma, Sirius and Adara, were illegally intercepted and boarded by Israeli occupation forces in international waters". The group added that contact with several other vessels was lost soon after the interceptions. "Beyond the confirmed interceptions, live streams and communications with several other vessels have been lost".</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/israel-s-humanitarian-city-a-relief-zone-for-gazans-or-a-concentration-camp-for-ethnic-cleansing-explained-1752655313058"><strong>Israel's proposed 'humanitarian city': A relief zone for Gazans or a concentration camp for ethnic cleansing?

‘Hamas-Sumud passengers’: Israel to deport Gaza flotilla activists, including Greta Thunberg, to Europe

<p>The Global Sumud Flotilla, a Gaza-bound aid mission carrying activists from 44 countries, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, claimed one of its vessels was struck by a drone off the coast of Tunisia on Tuesday. Also among those sailing as part of the campaign is UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese. According to the organisation, the "Family Boat"—sailing under a Portuguese flag and carrying steering committee members—was hit by a drone, sparking a fire onboard. Visuals posted online by the aid mission appeared to show flames erupting on the deck, purportedly after a drone strike. Here's all we know.</p><h2><strong>Are Thunberg and the crew safe?</strong></h2><p>In a post online, Global Sumud Flotilla revealed that "All passengers and crew are safe." The flotilla said the strike would not derail its attempt to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza: "Acts of aggression will not deter us".</p><p><strong>Also read | </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-aide-navarro-labels-india-and-brics-vampires-claims-they-re-sucking-us-blood-dry-in-latest-bizarre-tirade-1757378876520"><strong>Trump aide Navarro labels India and BRICS 'vampires' claims they're 'sucking US blood dry' in latest bizarre tirade</strong></a></p>

<h2><strong>Tunisia refutes drone strike claim, says...</strong></h2><p>Tunisian authorities have disputed the drone claim. National Guard spokesperson Houcem Eddine Jebabli told AFP that no drones were detected.
