Thunberg: Kidnapped by Israel, Highlights Gaza Genocide

Greta Thunberg Detained by Israeli Navy, Highlights Gaza Crisis Paris, France – June 10, 2025 – Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived in Paris today after being deported from Israel following an incident at sea. Thunberg and a group of pro-Palestinian activists were intercepted by the Israeli navy while attempting to break the blockade of Gaza, aiming to deliver humanitarian aid. "They did an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters," Thunberg stated in a video recorded shortly after her arrival in France. The Israeli government dismissed the voyage as a pro-Hamas publicity stunt. The activists were prevented from reaching Gaza, where a severe humanitarian crisis is ongoing due to the long-standing blockade. The incident has sparked international attention, raising concerns about freedom of navigation and the dire situation in Gaza. Thunberg's account adds weight to the ongoing debate surrounding the blockade and the humanitarian needs of the Gaza population. The focus now shifts to the delivery of aid and the future of humanitarian access to Gaza. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and its implications for regional stability.
