Sweden's Greta Thunberg Says She Was Kidnapped in International Waters
PARIS, June 10- Greta Thunberg has accused Israel of kidnapping her and other pro-Palestinian activists in international waters, following her deportation from the country. Upon arriving at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport, Thunberg stated that she refused to sign a document acknowledging illegal entry into Israel, asserting that she and her team had not violated any laws. She called for the release of the activists still detained in Israel, emphasizing, "We were kidnapped in international waters and brought against our will into Israel."
Responding to criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, who labeled her as angry, Thunberg remarked, "The world needs more young angry women, especially with everything going on right now." The 22-year-old activist arrived in Paris a day after the Israeli navy intercepted her vessel while attempting to reach Gaza, seizing the crew of twelve, including Thunberg.
She dismissed claims that her mission to deliver aid was merely a publicity stunt, noting that a previous attempt with a larger boat had ended when it was bombed. Thunberg expressed her urgent need for rest and personal care, while remaining uncertain about her next destination, mentioning it could be Sweden.
