Israeli naval forces on Monday intercepted the vessel carrying Swedish national Greta Thunberg and other activists to the Gaza Strip, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.

Calling it the “selfie yacht” of “celebrities,” the ministry said the 12 passengers had been given sandwiches and water and were being safely transported to the shores of the Jewish state. The ministry declared that “the show is over” and that the activists would be sent back to their home countries.

While the ministry posted a picture of Thunberg being offered a sandwich, stating she was “on her way to Israel, safe and in good spirits,” the keffiyeh-clad climate activist claimed in a video message that they were “kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel.”
