Greta Thunberg deported from Israel after its military intercepts Gaza-bound aid boat.

The 22-year-old activist was among a group detained by Israel after trying to break its naval blockade of Gaza and deliver a symbolic shipment of humanitarian aid.


Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said, the day after she and other activists were detained while trying to deliver a symbolic shipment of aid to Gaza by sea.

In a post on X, the ministry said that Thunberg, 22, had “just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden” via France, and shared images of her on a plane.

That came after the ministry said in a statement that a number of people detained by Israel aboard the intercepted British-flagged yacht Madleen had arrived at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport to “return to their home countries.”

Thunberg was among 12 activists undertaking the journey to attempt to circumvent Israel's aid blockade of Gaza when they were stopped by the Israeli navy and brought ashore at the port of Ashdod.

The statement added that those activists who refused to sign deportation papers and leave Israel would be brought before a judicial authority “to authorize their deportation.”

Adalah, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel, said in a statement Monday that it had met with 11 of the 12 people detained following the Madleen’s interception before some of them, who consented to deportation, flew out of Tel Aviv.

It said at least four people had been deported or were being deported from Israel, while eight remained in detention at Givon prison in Ramla and planned to contest their deportation before an Israeli tribunal. They were expected to appear before a immigration detention review tribunal Tuesday morning....
