Israel Deports Greta Thunberg and Activists After Gaza Aid Boat Intercepted

Israeli forces intercepted the Madleen, a boat carrying Greta Thunberg and 11 activists attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The group was detained and later deported, with Thunberg sent back to Sweden via France. She called the interception illegal and highlighted Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. Israel defended the action, citing security and insisting aid must go through official channels. Five French activists now face deportation. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition demands the activists’ release and safe aid delivery to Gaza.
