A Gaza-bound aid flotilla comprising over 50 ships from 44 countries is approaching Gaza, with Israel preparing to intercept, control, or sink some vessels in violation of international maritime law, which guarantees freedom of navigation in international waters. Previous Israeli attacks on flotillas in international waters have caused international outrage, and legal experts affirm that such actions are illegal under international law, emphasizing the flotilla's right to deliver humanitarian aid.

Lawyer for Nathan Carman speaks after his death in NH.

Nathan Carman, who was facing a murder-on-the-high-seas trial in connection with the death of his mother, has been found dead in his jail cell. His death was cited as a reason for federal officials dismissing an indictment against him. Carman's attorneys said they spoke with their client Wednesday night as they were preparing for his trial in October. In documents unsealed in May 2022 related to murder-on-the-high-seas charges, the indictment also alleged that Nathan Carman shot and killed his grandfather John Chakalos, 87, in Chakalos’s home in Windsor, Connecticut, in 2013.
