Greta Thunberg intends to visit the Gaza Strip again, despite the Israeli blockade
Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg intends to visit the Gaza Strip again on August 31 as part of a humanitarian mission, despite its blockade by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). On August 10, she announced this on the Instagram social network (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation, banned).
"We are launching the largest attempt to break the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza: dozens of ships will depart from Spain. On September 4, we will meet dozens more ships that will arrive from Tunis and other ports," the message says.
It is noted that eco-activists organize demonstrations and actions in support of Palestine in 44 countries around the world.
French MEP Rima Hassan said on May 28 that Thunberg intends to visit the Gaza Strip as part of a humanitarian mission, despite its blockade by the Israeli army. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, in turn, noted that the IDF had been instructed not to allow the Greta Thunberg flotilla to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip.
On the same day, the press service of the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that all people on board the Madeline vessel would be sent to their home countries. According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Thunberg tried to organize a provocation to attract public attention.
On June 9, Thunberg accused the Israeli authorities of kidnapping after not allowing her ship Madeleine to enter Gaza on a humanitarian mission, as the activist herself stated. In her appeal, she called on her family, friends and colleagues to put pressure on the Swedish government to achieve the immediate release of all participants in the mission, including herself.
Later, on June 11, the activist returned to Sweden after being deported from Israel.
