Thunberg’s claims of mistreatment in custody ‘brazen lies’
On Sunday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry sharply rejected the allegations that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and other pro -Palestinian activists were treated harshly in custody.
However, the far-right security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he was proud of our fleet activists as supporters of terrorism, “he said. “Everyone who supports terrorism is a terrorist and deserves suitable conditions for terrorists.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that on Sunday, a mission in X, Thunberg and other prisoners were deported, and insisted on being detained instead.
“Greta also complained to the Israeli officials about any of these ridiculous and unquestionable claims – because they never happened.” He said.
Ben-Gvir claimed that he visited the ships and saw “no help and humanity”. Instead, he said, “A package of baby found a ship full of people who behave like human rights activists who come to support and entertain terrorism at the expense of terrorism.”
He said that the activisists should “feel clearly the conditions of detention and think twice before approaching Israel again.”
On Friday, the Israeli navy seized the end of the global Sumud Flotilla’s 42 boats. More than 400 crew members from dozens of countries, including Thunberg, were detained. Israel has already begun to deport activists to their country.
Claims of insufficient water and bedbug rashes
The Guardian newspaper said that Thunberg spoke to Swedish representatives about Israeli in custody harsh treatment. It has been reported that he had taken inadequate water and food and developed skin rashes allegedly caused by bedbugurus. He said he had spent a long time sitting on “hard surfaces”. The newspaper showed an e -mail to individuals close to Thunberg from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They claimed that other activists were dragged and beaten by Thunberg’s hair. They also claimed to have to kiss an Israeli flag. Similar accusations were made against the treatment of other Palestinian activists.
According to the TT News Agency, the Swedish Foreign Ministry said that its representatives met with detainees. The Ministry also emphasized the importance of addressing the medical needs of Israeli officials and giving the opportunity to “immediately access food and clean water” and meet legal representatives.
The activists claimed that they aimed to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Israel offered to move aid from the ports outside Gaza and then deliver it to the Palestinian coastal area. However, the activists rejected this and argued that Israel’s Gaza blockade violated international law.
