Thunberg greeted by cheering crowd in Athens after Israel expels flotilla activists
- On Monday, 161 pro-Palestinian activists who had been expelled from Israel—including Greta Thunberg—arrived in Athens, where they were welcomed by enthusiastic crowds waving Palestinian flags.

- Israel rejects allegations of genocide and characterizes the flotilla as a publicity stunt, while United Nations reports continue to cite rampant hunger among Gaza's 2.2 million residents.
