Jeremy Corbyn shared why he was attending a protest in reaction to the Israeli soldiers' diversion of The Freedom Flotilla. Taking place outside the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the protesters demanded the government secures the release of the detained crew aboard a charity vessel which was carrying aid to Gaza. The former Labour Party leader added: "When the history books are written, the Madleen will be seen as an heroic attempt, to bring peace and bring aid to desperate people." Israeli forces seized control of a charity vessel aiming to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and detained its crew of 12 including activist Greta Thunberg, officials said. The British-flagged yacht Madleen, which is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was aiming to deliver a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid, including rice and baby formula, to Gaza later on Monday and raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis there. However, the boat was intercepted in the early hours of Monday before it could reach Gaza, the FFC said on its Telegram account.
