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.
Israeli  forces seized their small aid ship, which was seeking to break a  longstanding naval blockade of Gaza, and the 12-strong crew were brought  to Israel.

Four  of the group, including Thunberg, agreed to immediate deportation,  while the eight others contested the repatriation order. They have been  detained near Tel Aviv airport awaiting a court hearing on their legal  status.
Amongst those who have refused to leave are Rima Hassan, a French member of the European parliament.
"We  were 12 peaceful volunteers sailing on a civilian ship carrying  humanitarian aid on international waters. We did not break laws. We did  nothing wrong," Thunberg told reporters after she flew into Paris,  accusing Israel of kidnapping her.
"(There)  is a continued violation of international law and war crimes that  Israel is systematically committing against Palestinians by not letting  aid come to starving people," the 22-year-old Swede said.
