LONDON: The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Israel to “immediately and unconditionally” release all journalists arrested on board the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was intercepted by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The CPJ said at least 32 journalists were on 39 vessels heading toward the territory when they were stopped by Israeli authorities on Wednesday and Thursday.

Activists on board Global Sumud Flotilla report interceptions after Israeli vessels approached.
