Greta Thunberg Deported from Israel as Dozens of Flotilla Activists Remain Detained

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg arrives at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens, Monday, Oct. 6, 2025 after being deported from Israel for taking part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel along with more than 170 participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was intercepted last week while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. The deportees, hailing from across Europe and North America, were flown to Greece and Slovakia on Monday, where they were greeted by crowds of supporters.

Despite the mass deportations, around 150 activists remain in Israel’s Ktziot prison, including political figures and humanitarian workers. Lawyers representing the detainees report that at least 40 are on hunger strike, with some refusing food in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Allegations of mistreatment—including physical abuse, humiliation, and denial of medical care—have surfaced from released activists, though Israeli authorities strongly deny the claims, insisting detainees’ rights were respected.

The flotilla’s interception has sparked international protests and renewed debate over Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Thunberg, speaking upon arrival in Athens, described the mission as a stand against “genocide” and urged governments to end complicity in the conflict.

With hundreds already deported but many still imprisoned, the fate of the remaining activists continues to draw global attention.
