Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday, the day after the Israeli navy prevented her and a group of fellow pro-Palestinian activists from sailing to Gaza.
Thunberg was one of 12 passengers on board the boat carrying aid destined for people in Gaza. The activists said they were protesting the war and the humanitarian crisis amid Israeli restrictions on aid.
