In early June, Greta Thunberg and 11 other pro-Palestinian activists set off on the sailing ship Madleen to the coast of the Gaza Strip. The purpose of the action was to break the blockade and draw the world's attention to the humanitarian catastrophe in the region.
On June 9, Israeli forces took control of the vessel, which then headed to a port in Israel.
The next day, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that activist Greta Thunberg had been deported from the country.
