The Israeli Foreign Ministry labeled the vessel, called the *Madleen*, as a &#8220;selfie yacht,&#8221; stating that its purpose was to generate publicity rather than deliver aid. The ministry said the small amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-schools-may-use-covid-relief-money-to-pay-teacher-bonuses\/\" title=\"California Schools May Use COVID Relief Money to Pay Teacher Bonuses\">aid intended<\/a> for Gaza would be rerouted through established humanitarian channels instead. The passengers,described as &#8220;celebrities,&#8221; are expected to return to their home countries once the ship docks in Israel. Israeli Defense Minister israel Katz had ordered the military to take necessary actions to prevent the ship from reaching Gaza. The Foreign Ministry confirmed that all activists aboard were safe and unharmed, and footage showed Israeli soldiers distributing food and water to them.This situation continues to develop.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Greta Thunberg aid ship redirected to Israel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tensions-flare-between-china-india-after-clashes-at-himalayan-border\/\" title=\"Tensions flare between China, India after clashes at Himalayan border\">foreign ministry<\/a> says<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2140618\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A ship piloted by pro-<a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Palestinian<\/a> activists that was attempting to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is now &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >safely making&#038;rdquo<\/a>; its way to <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Israel<\/a>, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IsraelMFA\/status\/1931877539871338775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"statement\">statement<\/a> on X, the foreign ministry referred to the <em>Madleen<\/em>, the ship operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, as a &ldquo;selfie yacht&rdquo; and its passengers, which include activist <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/greta-thunberg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Greta Thunberg<\/a> and a minister of the European Parliament, as &ldquo;celebrities&rdquo; staging a &ldquo;media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3434992\/zelensky-ukraine-understands-russia-mentality-much-better-trump\/\">Zelensky says Ukraine understands Russian mentality &#8216;much better&#8217; than Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3434890\/israel-stop-greta-thunberg-aid-ship-gaza-blockade\/\">Israel says it will stop Greta Thunberg aid ship from breaking Gaza naval blockade<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3432633\/japan-imperial-family-succession-science-spirits\/\">Japan weighs science and spirits in resolving its imperial succession crisis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The statement noted that the passengers would be expected to return to their home countries after the ship docks in Israel.
