A yacht was reportedly attacked by a drone off the coast of Crete between 10:37 PM and 11:06 PM UTC on September 23rd, 2025, according to a social media post from user @davidrkadler. The post indicated a state of alert, with communications jamming and the use of explosive devices, stating "They are Jamming Our Radio". This incident occurs in the context of broader regional tensions and international diplomatic activities focused on the Gaza conflict. Earlier on September 23rd, US President Donald Trump described a meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders in Jerusalem as "great," a summit that concluded around 9:07 PM UTC. The leaders present, including representatives from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, and Pakistan, did not take questions from journalists following the meeting, as reported by Al-Araby TV. International discussions surrounding Gaza have included French President Emmanuel Macron challenging President Trump on the conflict and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announcing a potential motion to recognize a Palestinian state under specific conditions. Jordan's King had also previously cautioned that hostile rhetoric targeting the Al Aqsa Mosque could escalate into a religious war. The Israeli Foreign Ministry reiterated its policy to prevent flotillas from entering combat zones if aid transfer proposals were refused. Separately, an IDF soldier on vacation fatally shot a Palestinian in Almayar, Benjamin, after an altercation involving stone-throwing and an attack on Israeli civilians, an incident under IDF investigation.
