Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel to Deport Gaza-Bound Activists Including Greta Thunberg
Caption: Israel to Deport Gaza-Bound Activists Including Greta Thunberg. Israel is deporting a group of pro-Palestinian activists — including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg — after they were detained aboard a yacht trying to deliver aid to Gaza. The vessel, carrying 12 people and symbolic supplies like rice and baby formula, was intercepted in international waters and towed to Ashdod. The group, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to protest Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which they say is illegal. Israeli officials dismissed the voyage as a “publicity stunt,” saying the activists brought less aid than one truckload and accused them of staging “Instagram selfies.” Those refusing to sign deportation documents will face legal action. Meanwhile, Israel says over 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza in the past two weeks. The incident comes amid ongoing conflict, nearly 20 months after Hamas’s deadly October 2023 attack triggered Israel’s military response.
