Global Outcry Erupts After Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza-Bound Flotilla
Widespread protests have erupted across major cities worldwide following the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces. The international convoy, carrying activists aiming to break Israel’s blockade of the Palestinian territory, was halted while approaching the Gaza coast on Thursday, October 2, 2025.
Demonstrations swept through Rome, Istanbul, Athens, Buenos Aires, Madrid, London, Tunis, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, and Brasilia, with activists expressing solidarity with the flotilla and condemning its interception. Photos show activists from the flotilla being sailed into Ashdod port by Israeli navy soldiers after the incident.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets, waving flags, chanting slogans, and in some instances, clashing with police. In Milan, protesters flooded railway tracks on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, immediately after news of the interception broke. The global response highlights intense international scrutiny and ongoing tensions surrounding the Gaza blockade.
