Greta Thunberg is being deported from Israel after the Israeli military intercepted a Gaza-bound aid vessel she was aboard, according to statements from Israel`s Foreign Ministry and a legal rights group on Tuesday.
The Foreign Ministry posted a photo of Thunberg on a plane via X, confirming her departure to France.
Adalah, a legal advocacy group representing Thunberg and other detainees, said she, along with two fellow activists and a journalist, agreed to be deported. However, several other activists declined deportation and remained in detention pending a hearing by Israeli authorities.
Thunberg was among 12 people on the vessel Madleen, which was attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The group said the mission was a protest against the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory. Israel maintains that such attempts breach its naval blockade on Gaza.
