US EditionGreta Thunberg Back in Sweden After Deportation From Israel over Gaza Aid Ship
- On June 11, 2025, Greta Thunberg and 11 activists were deported from Israel after Israeli security forces intercepted their boat attempting to break the Gaza naval blockade from Tel Aviv to Gaza.
- The deportation followed the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which caused 1,219 Israeli deaths and 251 hostages, intensifying Israeli security concerns and blockade enforcement.
- The intercepted boat, named Madleen, carried food and supplies for Gaza, and the Israeli military boarded it without force, providing the activists with sandwiches and water despite their intention to breach the blockade.
- Thunberg condemned Israel for committing what she described as genocide and deliberate starvation targeting more than two million residents of Gaza, calling on both governments and individuals to respond to what she characterized as Israel’s ongoing war crimes. Israel, however, has denied these allegations.
- Following her deportation, Thunberg arrived in Sweden where roughly 30 enthusiastic supporters holding Palestinian flags welcomed her, with extensive media coverage capturing the event that underscored the tension between her activism and Israel's security measures.
