Greta Thunberg, other activists detained by Israeli military

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other activists and passengers have been detained by the Israeli military while intercepting boats sailing towards Gaza with aid.

The aid, sponsored by the the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) was making an attempt to break Israel’s 18-year blockade of Gaza.

The Israeli foreign ministry on, X, revealed that the people detained were safe and healthy and were being transported to Israel. He further revealed that they plan to begin their deportation process to Europe once they get to Israel.

“One last vessel of this provocation remains at a distance. If it approaches, its attempt to enter an active combat zone and breach the blockade will also be prevented…Greta and her friends are safe and healthy,” he stated.
