Turkey slammed Israel for intercepting a Gaza-bound boat carrying activists, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, early on Monday, describing it as a "heinous attack".

"The intervention by Israeli forces on the 'Madleen' ship.. while sailing in international waters is a clear violation of international law," it said, describing it as a "heinous attack" by the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Israel’s aggressive and unlawful actions will not silence the voices that stand up for human dignity and universal values,” it said.
