Greta Thunberg deported from Israel, claims she was "kidnapped" in international waters

Swedish activist influencer Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday, the day after the Israeli Navy prevented her and a group of fellow anti-Israel activists from sailing to Gaza.

Israeli forces seized their small aid ship, which was seeking to break a longstanding naval blockade of Gaza, and the 12-strong crew were brought to Israel.

Four of the group, including Thunberg, agreed to immediate deportation, while the eight others contested the repatriation order. They have been detained near Tel Aviv airport awaiting a court hearing on their legal status.
