Israel Expels Greta Thunberg and Detains Eight Freedom Flotilla Activists

  • Israel deported climate activist Greta Thunberg and detained eight activists after seizing their Gaza-bound aid ship on Monday near Gaza's coast.
  • The activists sailed aboard the British-flagged Madleen to protest the humanitarian crisis amid a 20-month war and blockade imposed since Hamas took power in 2007.
  • Israeli naval forces intercepted the vessel about 200 kilometers off Gaza and brought it to the port of Ashdod without incident on Monday evening.
  • Rights groups including Adalah and Amnesty International condemned the seizure as a violation of international law, while Israel defended its naval blockade as lawful and necessary to prevent weapons smuggling.
  • Thunberg, two other activists, and a journalist agreed to deportation, while eight activists refused and awaited court hearings, highlighting ongoing tensions over aid deliveries and Israel's blockade policy.
