Greta Thunberg on a dangerous mission: Risk of arrest in the Gaza Strip!

Gaza, Palästinensische Gebiete - The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, together with eleven colleagues on Sunday, stabbed Sicily by ship Madleen in Sicily in order to bring relief goods into the Gaza Strip. The mission turned out to be extremely delicate because Israeli security forces have decided that the ship must not approach the coastal area controlled by the Hamas. The decision was made so as not to create a precedent after a landing was originally considered in the competitive area.

In addition to Thunberg, the German activist Yasemin Acar, Irish actor Liam Cunningham and other prominent supporters such as Susan Sarandon and Melissa Barrera are also on board. The "Freedom Flotilla Coalition", which organizes the mission, emphasizes that the Madleen only drives through international waters and is not a threat.

Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip

The humanitarian location in the Gaza Strip is critical. Food and medication are used up and the population is faced with an acute lack of food. The Gaza War has already demanded more than 50,000 lives, and despair among the people living there is growing. Thunberg and her colleagues have set themselves the goal of "breaking through Israel's illegal siege through Israel" and creating a naval corridor for humanitarian goods.

However, the activists, including Thunberg and Acar, could be arrested if the ship should be stopped. Defense Minister Israel Katz and high -ranking military representatives are scheduled to decide on how to proceed on Thursday. Possible scenarios are that the ship is sent back to the open sea or escorted into the port of Ashdod, where arrests are threatened.

Criticism of Israel's politics

In the past, Thunberg has critically commented on Israel's approach and described his actions as a genocide. Her clear words have led to demands for an entry lock for the activist in Germany. So far, she has been denied the landing in the Gaza Strip, which gives her mission additional attention and an increased public debate.

In addition to the challenges that Thunberg faces, the current situation in the region is tense. The Israeli army recently killed the leader of the Palestinian Muzschahedin brigades in the Gaza Strip, Asad Abu Sharia. He was previously involved in the kidnapping and the murder of German citizen Schiri Bibas and her two little sons.

These developments throw a sharp light on the complex and dangerous location in the Gaza Strip, in which activists like Thunberg try to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis, while military operations and political tensions continue to bubble in the background.

The situation remains tense for the activists on board the Madleen. The impending decisions of Israeli military leadership will decide whether this missionary journey ends before it really started.
