Israel deports Greta Thunberg after Gaza-bound ship she was on was seized
Briefly

On Tuesday, Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed the deportation of activist Greta Thunberg following the seizure of her aid-carrying ship, the Madleen, by the Israeli military. Thunberg was among 12 passengers aboard the vessel, which aimed to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza during Israel's ongoing conflict. The ship was intercepted about 200 kilometers off Gaza’s coast. While Thunberg and select activists agreed to deportation, eight others remain in detention pending legal proceedings. The incident has sparked discussions about international law regarding the blockade and aid missions in conflict zones.
"Thunberg, a climate activist who shuns air travel, was deported from Israel after her ship carrying aid to Gaza was seized by the Israeli military."
"The Madleen, representing a humanitarian mission, was stopped by Israeli naval forces, who claimed the ship intended to breach a lawful blockade."
