Israel says activist Greta Thunberg leaving on flight to France
Israel on Tuesday said Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg was leaving the country on a flight to France, after she was detained along with other activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid boat and taken to a Tel Aviv airport for deportation, Azernews reports, citing Arab News.
“Greta Thunberg is departing Israel on a flight to France,” Israel’s foreign ministry said on its official X account, along with two photos of the activist on board a plane.
Five French activists aboard the boat for Gaza were set to face
an Israeli judge, the French foreign minister said on Tuesday.
“Our consul was able to see the six French nationals arrested by
the Israeli authorities last night,” Foreign Minister Jean-Noel
Barrot said on X. “One of them has agreed to leave voluntarily and
should return today. The other five will be subject to forced
deportation proceedings.”
