Renowned activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after being detained aboard the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla vessel, seized by the Israeli military. Thunberg, a prominent climate activist, intended to distribute humanitarian aid in the region, highlighting the ongoing crisis in Palestinian territories.

Upon arriving in Paris, Thunberg called for the release of fellow activists and condemned the conditions in Palestine. "The situation in Gaza is dire, and our mission was to bring aid and raise awareness," she stated, urging her supporters to demand humanitarian efforts and an end to the occupation.

The Israeli government maintains its naval blockade is lawful, citing security concerns, while rights groups argue it's a violation of international law. Thunberg's deportation and the Freedom Flotilla's seizure have reignited debates over maritime law and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
