Israel has deported Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and 170 other activists who participated in a flotilla attempting to deliver aid to Gaza and break Israel's naval blockade. The activists were sent to Greece and Slovakia after being detained by Israeli authorities.


The deported activists alleged mistreatment during their detention, including physical abuse, lack of food and water, and confiscation of medication. They claimed Israeli forces beat, dragged, and blindfolded them, and put them in cages. Israel's Foreign Ministry rejected these allegations, describing them as "complete lies" and a "PR stunt." The ministry stated that all detainees were given access to water, food, and restrooms, and their legal rights were fully upheld.


Former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, who was also on the flotilla, acknowledged some mistreatment but emphasized that it was nothing compared to what the Palestinian people suffer daily. The activists' deportation brings the total number of deportees to 341 out of 479 detained.

The State Department has labeled the Lebanese branch a foreign terrorist organization, while the Jordanian and Egyptian branches have been listed as specially designated global terrorists for supporting Hamas.
