After Greta Thunberg said she and the 11 other activists on Madleen had been "intercepted and kidnapped," Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs took a swipe at the campaigners

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has said the Israeli military has boarded its Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and that communication with the boat has been lost.

The Israeli army seized the Gaza-bound aid ship Madleen, towing it to Israel, the Foreign Ministry said late Sunday, adding the activists will be deported to their countries. The ministry said in a statement on X that the vessel “is safely making its way to the shores of Israel. The passengers are expected to return to their home countries.”
