Boubaker Bethabet (center), recently elected President of the Tunisian Bar Association (National Order of Lawyers), attends a demonstration in Tunis, Tunisia, on October 4, 2025, to protest Israel's detention of Tunisian activists participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla humanitarian mission and to demand their release. They also protest against what they call the war of extermination and starvation inflicted on the people of Gaza. The Israeli military intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla ships and detains all participants on board. The Global Sumud Flotilla is an international solidarity mission that sets sail with hundreds of participants, including activists, politicians, humanitarian groups, and public figures from dozens of countries, to break Israel's blockade of Gaza amid the ongoing attacks on the enclave. Participants aim to deliver food, water, and medicine to civilians in Gaza, which faces a humanitarian crisis amid Israel's siege.

Participants in the pro-Palestinian protest ''Alarm for Gaza! SOS for the Flotilla'' express solidarity with the humanitarian operation organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla, whose members are intercepted by Israeli forces, while standing in the Main Market Square on October 2, 2025, in Krakow, Poland. Ships from more than 40 countries set sail for the Gaza Strip to break Israel's blockade of the region and deliver humanitarian aid to civilians. The flotilla also aims to draw attention to what the organizers call Israel's illegal blockade. The mission is organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla with support from the Global Movement to Gaza. On October 1, Israeli forces intercept part of the flotilla in international waters. Among those on board are four Polish citizens, including MP Franek Sterczewski. Protesters claim the ships are illegally seized and that the Polish nationals are being unlawfully detained. They demand their release and an immediate response from the Polish government. The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) and a UN commission state that Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip meet the legal definition of genocide.
