‘Flotilla vessel blocked’: Switzerland lodges protest over Israel stopping Gaza-bound ship; demands unhindered access to citizens
Switzerland announced a diplomatic protest against Israel after its security forces restricted Swiss diplomats' access to detained nationals from a Gaza aid flotilla. The flotilla, carrying activists including Greta Thunberg, was intercepted by Israel, which called the mission a "stunt" in an active combat zone. Global protests followed the incident.
