Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

The 12 people aboard the Madleen, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, have been detained by Israeli authorities.

They said the aid they were trying to deliver — including baby formula, food and medical supplies — was also confiscated.

What's next?

Israel's Defence Minister said the ship was making its way safely to the shore, and those who had been detained would be returned to their home countries.
