Israel’s foreign ministry had said earlier that anyone who refused to sign deportation documents and leave Israel would be brought before judicial authorities to authorize their deportation.

Greta Thunberg was among those held; in this made-for-selfies drama, she told followers she’d been “kidnapped” and called those watching to pressure the Swedish government into getting her released.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it would deport four activists who were detained aboard an aid ship bound for Gaza, including the environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg along with 11 others were detained by Israeli forces aboard a Gaza-bound aid boat, which was seized by the country's military.
