Thunberg greeted by cheering crowd in Athens after Israel expels flotilla activists
- On Monday, 161 pro-Palestinian activists who had been expelled from Israel—including Greta Thunberg—arrived in Athens, where they were welcomed by enthusiastic crowds waving Palestinian flags.
- The activists, part of the Sumud Flotilla, had attempted to reach Gaza by sea to deliver aid and highlight the region's humanitarian crisis.
- Thunberg and fellow activists described harsh detention conditions and accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, while Israel strongly denied all mistreatment allegations.
- Thunberg told the Athens crowd, "There is a genocide going on," and stated that "our international systems are betraying Palestinians" by failing to prevent war crimes.
- Israel rejects allegations of genocide and characterizes the flotilla as a publicity stunt, while United Nations reports continue to cite rampant hunger among Gaza's 2.2 million residents.
