Greta Thunberg Deported by Israel During Gaza Aid Mission, Responds to Trump Criticism

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg was detained and deported by Israeli forces while participating in a humanitarian aid mission to Gaza aboard the British-flagged vessel Madleen. U.S. President Donald Trump responded by mocking Thunberg, calling her a "strange," "young, angry person" and suggesting she needed anger management classes. Thunberg strongly rebutted Trump's remarks upon her arrival in Paris, stating that the world needs "many more young angry women," especially given the current global crises, and condemned Israel's interception and deportation of her team as violations of international and human rights law. The activist emphasized that her experience was minor compared to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza amidst the Israel-Hamas war. Israel defended its actions, calling the deportation legal and banning the activists from re-entering for 100 years. This incident adds to the longstanding public clashes between Thunberg and President Trump, highlighting their sharply contrasting views on activism and international affairs.
