'Freedom Flotilla' And Greta Thunberg Prepare To Depart Italy For Gaza

CATANIA, ITALY - JUNE 01: The Madleen of the Freedom Flotilla, flying Palestinian flags, sails off the port of San Giovanni Li Cuti in Catania, before setting sail for Gaza on June 01, 2025 in Catania, Italy. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is among those who will attempt to sail to Gaza on a boat organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), in a bid to break Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory. Freedom Flotilla had to abort a previous journey in early May after it said its boat came under attack by drones in international waters near Malta. (Photo by Fabrizio Villa/Getty Images)
