Green Party member kidnapped by Israel from Gaza flotilla

Israeli forces have reportedly kidnapped a British Green Party member from onboard the Global Sumud Flotilla that is heading for Gaza with emergency supplies. The incident came after far-right Zionists doxxed Zak Khan on social media.

Gaza flotilla intercepted

As the Canary previously reported, late on Wednesday, 29 April, the boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla were sailing in international waters. Then, self-identified Israeli attack boats intercepted them, cutting their communications.

The attackers pointed lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons at the boats and ordered participants to gather at the front of the boats on their hands and knees. According to flotilla organisers, an SOS was issued, but the flotilla’s communications were jammed. Drones circled and were ‘buzzing’ the vessels.

According to Global Sumud Flotilla organisers, at first Israeli broke the comms of 11 vessels, and intercepted seven of them. Then, it emerged that Israel had taken 15 of the Gaza flotilla vessels, including their crew and passengers:

Following the pattern of previous Israeli piracy, the attackers ordered the crews to surrender and allow their humanitarian cargos to be taken to Israeli ports.

Then, in the early hours of 30 April, Israeli forces reportedly abducted dozens of members of the flotilla. Bear in mind, they did this in international waters off the coast of Crete – where they have no legal right to do this.

According to Zionist propaganda outlet the Jerusalem Post, as of 9am on 30 April “over twenty ships and around 175 activists” had been abducted by Israel.

Green Party member kidnapped

It is now emerging that there are British citizens on board – one of them being Green Party member Zak:

As Greens for Palestine said on Instagram:

Mohammed Zakaria Khan, a British citizen participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla, has been illegally kidnapped by Israeli forces in international waters west of Crete.

This is not just an attack on one person – it’s an attack on:
✓ International maritime law
✓ Humanitarian aid to Gaza
✓ The right to peaceful protest
✓ British citizens abroad

The Global Sumud Flotilla was on a lawful humanitarian mission to deliver aid to besieged Gaza when Israeli forces:
• Jammed communications
• Deployed drones and military vessels
• Illegally intercepted civilian boats
• Abducted Zak Khan

Israel’s actions violate UNCLOS and international law.

People have rallied in support of Zak and the other people Israel has abducted. There will be an emergency demo outside the Greek Embassy at 6pm tonight, 30 April:

As of 11am on 30 April, Green Party leadership had not commented on Israel’s abduction of Zak from the Gaza flotilla. However, people who have been commenting are far-right Zionists like Heidi Bachram – who, just days before Israel abducted him, effectively doxxed his presence on the boat to her followers:

Notorious far-right Zionist account ‘Habibi’ did similar:

Considering these Zionists are obsessed with weaponising the law against anti-genocide, pro-Palestine supporters – you’d think they’d respect the fact that Israel’s actions against the Gaza flotilla are illegal. However, international law is of no concern to Zionists – as 20,000 dead children in Gaza could attest to if they were still alive.

Disgraceful

As of 11am on 30 April, Zak’s location and wellbeing are unknown. Nor are that of the other Gaza flotilla members.

During the 2025 Gaza flotilla, Israel used this exact same playbook. its forces intercepted the boats in international waters. However, on that occasion it was not so soon after the ships set sail. Israel’s actions now set a worrying tone for what might be to come. Last year, Israeli forces beat, racially abused, sexually assaulted, and tortured flotilla members. Yet no action by governments has been taken.

The Canary will be monitoring the situation closely.
