Israel’s genocidal military has seized multiple humanitarian vessels that were en route to Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The first reports came in this morning, 18 May 2026. At the time of writing, the Global Sumud Flotilla’s social media account has posted one notification after another with footage of Israel’s illegal attacks and details of the volunteer crews. Each post comes with a maritime distress message, “SOS.”

Israel is a terror state. The UK and other western governments have citizens among the humanitarian volunteer crews, yet continue to remain silent. Including Keir Starmer, who has found time to post on X about golf, but not about Israel’s crimes against international and maritime law:
History maker!
Congratulations Aaron Rai on your extraordinary win at the @PGAChampionship, the first English golfer to win for 107 years.https://t.co/gyT4qEGvGu
