SHOTLIST: ATHENS, GREECE (OCT. 1, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PROTESTORS GATHERED IN FRONT OF MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS BUILDING CHANTING IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE WHILE HOLDING BANNERS AND FLAGSATHENS, GREECE - OCT. 1, 2025: People participated in a protest on Wednesday, Oct. 1, outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens, Greece, to oppose Israel's navy attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which carried humanitarian aid toward Gaza. Demonstrators gathered to express opposition amid reports of Israeli military boarding vessels, deploying water, and intercepting the flotilla, leading to broader protests across Europe. Organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla said the interception occurred as Israeli warships blocked communications and moved to halt the convoy. The International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG) confirmed that Israeli forces stormed the ships Alma and Sirius. Several activists posted videos on social media confirming that Israeli naval boats approached the convoy and ordered them to change course. The flotilla, loaded mainly with humanitarian aid and medical supplies, set sail at the end of August and was expected to reach Gaza’s coast on Thursday morning under normal circumstances. This marked the first time in years that around 50 ships have sailed together toward Gaza, carrying 532 civilian supporters from over 45 countries to the enclave of 2.4 million Palestinians that has been under Israeli blockade for roughly 18 years.
