Israel condemned for seizure of Gaza-bound aid flotilla

Countries such as Germany, Italy, and Spain have condemned Israel's seizure of an international flotilla carrying aid for the Gaza Strip in international waters. They called on Israel to respect international law and exercise restraint. The flotilla was intercepted by Israel's navy, with over 20 vessels and 175 activists being transported to Israel. The detained activists were taken off the vessels unharmed, with some to be brought ashore in Greece.
