JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli authorities said Monday that they have deported to Greece and Slovakia another 171 people detained for taking part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla , including prominent Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
Israel’s foreign ministry posted on X that “the deportees were citizens of Greece, Italy, France, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, Switzerland, Norway, the UK, Serbia, and the United States.” The post included photos of Thunberg and other activists wearing white T-shirts and gray sweatpants.
Israeli authorities rejected once again mistreatment accusations that have emerged in interviews with activists who were deported to Turkey, Spain and Italy over the weekend.
