Israel Shares Pic of Greta Smiling & Being Handed Sandwich Amid Kidnapping Claims
In a recent development, the Israel Foreign Ministry has shared a picture of activist Greta Thunberg smiling and being handed a sandwich, claiming that she is “safe and in good spirits” and on her way to Israel. This comes amid claims by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition that Greta and the crew of the charity ship have been “kidnapped” after Israeli forces took command of the vessel.
The controversy began when the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s ship, carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, was intercepted by Israeli naval forces. The coalition claims that the Israeli forces used violence and intimidation to take control of the ship and detain its crew, including Greta Thunberg.
However, the Israel Foreign Ministry has disputed these claims, releasing a statement saying that Greta and the crew are “safe and in good spirits” and are being taken to Israel for questioning. The ministry also shared a picture of Greta smiling and being handed a sandwich, which it claims is evidence that she is unharmed and being treated well.
The picture shows Greta Thunberg sitting on a ship, looking relaxed and smiling as someone hands her a sandwich. The image appears to be taken from a distance, and it is not clear who took the picture or exactly where Greta is.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has disputed the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s claims, saying that Greta and the crew are being held against their will and are not receiving proper treatment. The coalition has also released a pre-recorded video of Greta stating that she and the crew have been “kidnapped” by Israeli forces.
In the video, Greta says, “We are not being treated as human beings. We are being treated as political prisoners. We are being held against our will, and we are not being given the proper treatment that we deserve.”
The controversy has sparked widespread outrage and criticism of Israel’s actions. Many have condemned the Israeli government for its treatment of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and its crew, and for its decision to intercept and detain the charity ship.
The situation has also raised questions about Greta Thunberg’s safety and well-being. As a prominent activist, Greta has been a vocal advocate for climate change and has used her platform to speak out against injustice and oppression. Her involvement with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has put her in the spotlight, and many are concerned for her safety and well-being.
In a statement, Greta’s team said, “Greta is a strong and determined individual who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She is deeply committed to her work as an activist and to using her platform to make a positive impact on the world.”
The situation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will unfold. In the meantime, many are watching with bated breath as the controversy continues to unfold.
