""She also stated that she had developed rashes, which she suspects were caused by bedbugs," the email said. "She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces." Thunberg also told Swedish dignitaries she'd been forced to pose for pictures holding flags, and wanted to know if they had been shared with the media."
"Thunberg's boat was one of more than 40 intercepted by Israeli authorities on Thursday. Several people were detained for taking part in the coordinated Global Sumud Flotilla. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the effort to end Israel's blockade on Gaza a "de-legitimization campaign against Israel." Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz, dubbed the flotilla a Hamas terrorist operation. Thunberg was part of a pro-Palestinian flotilla in August that was also intercepted before reaching Gaza's shores."
Greta Thunberg was detained by Israeli authorities after joining an aid flotilla bound for Gaza. Sweden's Foreign Ministry met her in Israel and relayed complaints of dehydration, inadequate food and water, and rashes suspected to be from bedbugs. Thunberg reported harsh treatment, extended periods sitting on hard surfaces, and being forced to pose for pictures holding flags, though which flags remained unclear. Her boat was one of more than 40 intercepted and several participants were detained. Israeli leaders denounced the flotilla as a de-legitimization campaign and as a Hamas terrorist operation. Earlier flotilla interceptions in August prompted worldwide protests and diplomatic consequences.
