Greta Thunberg Deported: Gaza Blockade Sparks International Outcry

Greta Thunberg Deported from Israel After Attempted Gaza Blockade Breach On June 10, 2025, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after authorities intercepted the ship she was on while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The incident has sparked international attention, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region and the legality of Israel's maritime blockade. The video shows Thunberg and other activists aboard the ship, the 'Al-Madleen,' which was intercepted by Israeli forces in the Mediterranean Sea. The activists aimed to challenge the blockade, bringing attention to the dire conditions in Gaza. According to the French Freedom Flotilla (FFC), the ship carried milk, food, and medicine. Following the interception, Thunberg was deported and arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Tuesday. The FFC has condemned the blockade as illegal. 'Their actions are a clear violation of international law,' said one activist in a statement. Thunberg herself has remained vocal on social media, calling the blockade a humanitarian crisis. The Israeli government maintains that the blockade is necessary to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas fighters. However, the incident has raised further questions about the blockade's impact on civilians in Gaza and the international community's response to the humanitarian crisis.
