"We were 12 peaceful volunteers sailing on a civilian ship carrying humanitarian aid on international waters. We did not break laws. We did nothing wrong," she said.

Israel has deported Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, a day after seizing the Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship on which she was sailing alongside 11 others. Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thunberg flew out of Tel Aviv early on Tuesday, bound for Sweden via France, and released her photos on the flight.

Israeli forces have seized a Gaza-bound aid boat and detained Greta Thunberg and other activists who were on board.

Israel’s interception of the Madleen is not without precedent. On May 2, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition ship Conscience was seriously damaged during a drone attack while carrying humanitarian aid bound for Gaza. The attack ended its journey.

Activist Thunberg arrived home in Sweden late on Tuesday, June 10. Of the 12 activists aboard the boat, eight − including French-Palestinian European MP Rima Hassan − refused to leave Israel voluntarily and were brought before a detention review tribunal.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli forces seized a Gaza-bound aid boat and detained Greta Thunberg and other activists who were on board early Monday, enforcing a longstanding blockade of the Palestinian territory that has been tightened during the Israel-Hamas war.

Blockades may be used in wartime, but only if they meet 5 legal conditions. Have Israel’s actions complied with the law?

After the Madleen was intercepted by Israeli forces, Tánaiste Simon Harris reiterated Ireland's call for an end to the blockade on Gaza.
