Greta Thunberg, along with 11 other activists from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, attempted to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip aboard the Madleen. The vessel was intercepted by Israel's naval forces approximately 200 kilometers off Gaza's coast. The activists were detained and brought to the port of Ashdod. Israel's Foreign Ministry stated that Greta Thunberg and three other activists agreed to voluntary deportation and were flown out of Israel to Sweden via France. The remaining activists, including Rima Hassan and Thiago Ávila, refused to sign deportation papers and are being held in detention, awaiting a legal hearing. Israel maintains that the ship violated its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has been in place since 2007, and dismissed the flotilla as a publicity stunt. Adalah, a legal rights group, is representing the detained activists. The incident underscores the severe humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
