Israel deports Greta after failed aid bid

GRETA Thunberg was yesterday put on a plane back to her native Sweden from Israel after she was detained on a Gaza aid boat.

Along with two other activists and a journalist she agreed to be deported, according to Adalah, a legal rights group in Israel representing the flotilla's passengers.

Others who are challenging their deportation are being held in detention, the group said.

Yesterday the Israeli foreign ministry shared photos of the 22-year-old climate activist on a plane, noting she had “just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden”, her native country, via Paris.

She was held while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza along with a dozen or so others on the Madleen, a humanitarian vessel attempting get supplies there.
