Israel Captures Hundreds of Activists Attempting To Bring Food Into Gaza, Including American Citizens

The Israeli military has stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla from breaking its starvation blockade on the Gaza Strip and has arrested hundreds of activists who were on board the vessels, including American citizens, attempting to bring food to starving Palestinians.

According to a congressional letter to President Trump calling for the US to guarantee safe passage for the flotilla, which was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), 24 US citizens were among the activists onboard, including at least six US veterans.

Greg Stoker, a contributor to Mint Press News and one of the US veterans participating in the flotilla, was posting regular updates on his X account before he was presumably captured by the IDF.
