Israeli naval forces on Monday intercepted the vessel carrying Swedish national Greta Thunberg and other activists to the Gaza Strip.

Calling it the “selfie yacht” of “celebrities,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the 12 passengers had been given sandwiches and water and were being safely transported to the shores of the Jewish state. “The show is over” and the activists will be sent back to their home countries, the ministry said.

While the ministry posted a picture of Thunberg being offered a sandwich, stating she was “on her way to Israel, safe and in good spirits,” the keffiyeh-clad climate activist claimed in a video message that they were “kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel.”

Terrorists in Gaza currently hold 56 hostages—both alive and deceased—55 of the 251 kidnapped during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, and the remains of IDF Lt. Hadar Goldin, killed in action in the Strip in 2014.
