Gaza activist boat carrying aid docks after being seized by Israel

 
A yacht carrying a small quantity of humanitarian aid and activists trying to reach Gaza has docked in Israel after being intercepted by Israeli forces. 
 
Climate activist Greta Thunberg and a French lawmaker are among 12 people aboard the vessel that was intercepted by Israeli forces earlier on Monday.
 
Israel branded the boat a "selfie yacht" carrying "less than a single truckload of aid" and said the activists will be deported. 
 
The Palestinian foreign ministry has called for protection of the activists' safety, and a UN official has asked for more ships to "sail together" to bring aid to Gaza.
