Israel deports Greta Thunberg after military seizure of Gaza-bound aid ship she was on [Video]

Israel deported activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday, the country’s Foreign Ministry said, a day after the Gaza-bound ship she was on was seized by the Israeli military.

Thunberg left on a flight to France and was then headed to her home country of Sweden, the Foreign Ministry said in a post on X. It posted a photo of Thunberg, a climate activist who shuns air travel, seated on a plane.

Speaking upon arrival at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport, Thunberg called for the release of the other activists who were detained aboard the Freedom Flotilla. She described a “quite chaotic and uncertain” situation during the detention.

She said the conditions they faced “are absolutely nothing compared to what people are going through in Palestine and especially Gaza right now.”
