New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has condemned Israel's interception of a flotilla headed for Gaza, calling it a "brazen violation of international law". The Israeli Navy detained about 175 activists from over 20 boats, including several New Yorkers. The flotillas were intended to highlight conditions in Gaza. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said the activists would be transferred to Greece and disembarked on a Greek beach in the coming hours. The operation was conducted peacefully and without casualties.
