Greta Thunberg, a Swedish activist, has criticized Israel for stopping a humanitarian boat heading to Gaza. She said Israeli forces took her and others against their will while they were in international waters. The boat aimed to deliver aid and show support for Palestinians.
Thunberg was later deported from Israel and flown to Paris. She spoke at the airport, saying what she experienced was nothing compared to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. She described Israel's actions as serious human rights violations.
The aid boat, named Madleen, carried activists from several countries. Five French citizens were detained for refusing to leave Israel. Thunberg said the mission was peaceful and focused on delivering food and supplies to Gaza.
She added that blocking aid is part of wider violations of international law. She also criticized world governments for staying silent about the crisis in Gaza.
Despite everything, Thunberg promised to continue speaking out. She said people must keep fighting against injustice and for Palestinian rights. She called on others to stay strong and keep pushing for change.
The ongoing war in Gaza has killed tens of thousands. Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have raised alarm over possible war crimes and civilian suffering.
