Thunberg Condemns Israel After Illegal Detention: Gaza Aid Ship Seizure Sparks Outrage

Greta Thunberg Accuses Israel of Illegal Detention After Gaza Aid Ship Seizure Paris, France – Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris today, following her expulsion from Israel. Thunberg and eleven other activists were aboard the Madleen, a ship operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. The ship was intercepted and seized by Israeli forces in international waters yesterday. "In international waters we were illegally seized by Israel and taken against our will to the country, where we were arrested," Thunberg stated to reporters. "This is yet another violation of international rights, especially towards Palestinians." Some activists were deported; others remain in Israel. The incident has sparked international concern, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by the ongoing siege and blockade. Thunberg's account underscores the difficulties faced by those attempting to deliver aid to the besieged territory. The situation remains tense, with calls for an end to the blockade and the establishment of a humanitarian corridor gaining momentum.
