During the night, the twelve crew members from the Freedom Flotilla were on their way to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

This was stated by Moatasem Zedan, spokesperson for the Israeli human rights organization Adalah, which represents the activists, to TT.

She is now on her way home, according to the spokesperson.

According to an X-post from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, she is on a flight to Sweden, via Paris. Pictures show her sitting in an aisle seat.

The activists have undergone health checks, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry. They were also shown a 40-minute film depicting Hamas' brutal massacre on October 7, the event that started the war.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who has called Greta Thunberg anti-Semitic repeatedly in recent days, says the activists did not clearly see the film.

“These anti-Semitic Flotilla activists closed their eyes to the truth and showed once again that they prefer the murderers to the victims,” Katz said according to the Jerusalem Post.

The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in contact with Israeli authorities regarding Greta Thunberg yesterday evening. They have also met with her.

"Representatives from the embassy were granted consular access to Greta Thunberg during the night," they write in an email to Aftonbladet.
