Activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday and en route to Sweden after authorities removed her from an aid ship headed to Gaza.

The climate activist was placed on a flight to France and is later set to be transported to her home country of Sweden. She along with 12 others were sailing for the shores of Gaza on the Madleen, on a trip sponsored by the Freedom Flotilla to support Palestinians in need of humanitarian assistance.
