Greta Thunberg Deported After Israeli Forces Seize Gaza-Bound Flotilla

On June 10th, 2025, a flotilla of activists bound for Gaza, including Greta Thunberg, was seized by Israeli forces and subsequently deported. The incident unfolded in international waters off the coast of Gaza. Simultaneously, a large demonstration of pro-Palestine activists took place outside 10 Downing Street in London. The Israeli government stated that the flotilla was not engaged in humanitarian aid, but rather in "Instagram activism." In contrast, the activists, including Thunberg, claim they were "kidnapped" and have called on the Swedish government to intervene. Footage released by the activists shows them being boarded by Israeli forces in the dark. One activist, in a video message, stated, "I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible." This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the international attention focused on the situation.
