Sky News has received over 1,270 Ofcom complaints following controversial remarks made by presenter Samantha Washington about a vessel delivering aid to Gaza. During a June 7 broadcast on 'Today' with Samantha Washington, the channel covered the aid ship Madleen, which was intercepted near Gaza's coast. Greta Thunberg, onboard the vessel, claimed she was 'kidnapped' and called for Swedish government intervention. The complaints allege that Washington's comments misrepresented the mission as symbolic rather than humanitarian, with her stating it was 'really a drop in the ocean' compared to Gaza's needs. The vessel, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying humanitarian aid and was intercepted approximately 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz labeled the flotilla a 'hate flotilla' and accused crew members of being 'anti-Semitic,' vowing to prevent the vessel from reaching Gaza. Greta Thunberg and other activists condemned their interception, calling it kidnapping and urging international pressure for their release. The incident has sparked widespread backlash and intense media scrutiny, highlighting tensions over aid delivery to Gaza and the portrayal of the flotilla's mission.
