UK's Strategic Move: Britain Signals Possible Support for Israel Amid Iran Conflict

The United Kingdom has hinted at potential support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Iran, though officials emphasize that recent military deployments are primarily precautionary. British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves stated on Sunday that additional military jets were sent to the Middle East to protect British bases and personnel.

Greta Thunberg Deported from Israel Following Gaza Aid Ship Seizure

Israel has deported Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg after its military seized the Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship she was aboard. The vessel, named Madleen, was intercepted by Israeli forces early Monday as it attempted to breach Israel’s long-standing naval blockade of Gaza.  

Thunberg, along with 11 other activists, was detained and later transferred to Ben Gurion Airport. Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that she departed on a flight to France before continuing to Sweden. Three other activists agreed to immediate deportation, while eight others refused and are now being held in detention pending a court hearing.  

The activists, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to deliver humanitarian aid, including food supplies, to Gaza, which has been devastated by months of conflict. Israel, however, dismissed the mission as a publicity stunt, maintaining that such attempts violate its blockade.  

Thunberg, known for her environmental activism, had previously expressed solidarity with Palestinians. Her deportation has sparked international debate over Israel’s enforcement of its blockade and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
