US EditionIsrael deports Greta Thunberg and 170 other activists from Gaza-bound flotilla
- Between Wednesday and Friday, around 450 activists aboard more than 40 boats forming the Global Sumud flotilla were detained by Israeli naval forces as they attempted to sail to Gaza.
- The flotilla tried to break Israel's naval blockade to deliver humanitarian aid, but Israel called the mission a provocation and claimed the blockade is legal.
- Several deported activists reported mistreatment including confiscation of medicines, intimidation with dogs, and stress, while Israel's Foreign Ministry denied these allegations as brazen lies.
- The interception triggered global protests, large demonstrations in Rome, Buenos Aires and Istanbul, and criticism from governments including Turkey, Colombia, and Pakistan.
- Calls for government action include a New Zealand Green Party plea to sanction Israel and ensure safe return of detained nationals, while all 68 MPs are urged to support a bill for sanctions.
