Israel threatens to block arrival of activist ship Madleen in Gaza
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has ordered the military not to allow a sailing ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists to enter the Gaza Strip. 'Israel will not allow anyone to break the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip,' Katz said in a statement on X. He said he had ordered the armed forces to prevent the arrival of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's ship Madleen. Addressing Thunberg and the 11 other activists on board, Katz said: 'You should turn back because you will not reach Gaza.' The defence minister described the ship's crew as 'left-wing extremist activists.'He emphasized that the naval blockade of Gaza was introduced in 2007 after the Palestinian Hamas came to power. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it wants to bring relief supplies, including baby food and medical supplies, to the desperate people in the devastated Gaza Strip, and has repeatedly emphasised that there are no weapons on board. The activists also want to draw international attention to the humanitarian situation on the ground. The Madleen set sail from Sicily a week ago and aims to reach the coast on Monday. On Sunday afternoon, the ship was less than 300 kilometres from its destination, north of the Egyptian coast. In videos posted on Instagram, the group has accused Israel of jamming its communication devices in order to intercept the ship or even prepare an attack. (DPA)

Russian parliament leader warns Germany's Merz against escalation
Moscow: The chairman of the Russian parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, on Saturday warned against an escalation of tensions between his country and Germany in a message to lawmakers in Berlin. 'The current German ruling elite is creating the conditions for an aggravation of the situation and provoking clashes between our countries,' Volodin said in the message to the leaders of Germany's main parliamentary parties. The question is whether the German population wants a confrontation, said the head of the State Duma in Moscow. 'We don't want that. But if it comes to that, then we are ready for it,' said Volodin, citing Berlin's ever greater support for Kiev in the war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year. 'We know that the German government is planning to set up missile production in Ukraine. This means that Germany is increasingly being drawn into military action against Russia,' said Volodin. (DPA)
