Israel blocks Greta Thunberg stunt voyage from reaching Gaza

The blockade has remained in place through multiple conflicts, including the current war, which began after a Hamas-led assault on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, that killed more than 1,200 people.

The Israeli government says the blockade is essential to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas.
