Israel ‘kidnapped us in international waters,’ says Greta Thunberg upon arriving in France

The activists traveling on the vessel were from France, Germany, Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands. Thunberg was part of those who signed the roles that allowed his expulsion from Israel.

Four of the six French sailboat rejected it, among them the model Rima Hassan, according to French diplomacy. Now they are awaiting court proceedings, the Israeli chancelaria said.

“I am very concerned about them,” said the activist, who asked for her “immediate liberation”, in addition to the arrival of humanitarian aid in Gaza, a ceasefire and, above all, the end of the “Israeli occupation.

The boat was chartered by the Flotilha da Liberdade coalition, a non -violent international movement of solidarity with Palestinians, created in 2010 and combining humanitarian aid and political protest against Gaza’s blockade.

“We will not stop. We will continue to do everything we can, because that is the promise we made to the Palestinians,” added Thunberg. According to a source from the airport, she should board another plane at night to Sweden.

The Israeli government accused “Greta Thunberg and the others (of having) tried to stag a media provocation with the sole intention to generate advertising.”
