Israel Deports Greta Thunberg After Gaza-Bound Ship Was Seized
2 days ago
Israel deported activist Greta Thunberg, the country’s Foreign Ministry said, a day after the Gaza-bound ship she was on was seized by the Israeli military. Thunberg later emerged from the airport in Paris and accused Israel of attacking and kidnapping those on the aid flotilla. Thunberg was one of 12 passengers on board the Madleen, a boat carrying aid destined for people in war-torn Gaza. The activists said they were protesting the ongoing war and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel says such ships violate its naval blockade of Gaza.
