time throwing in his two cents.

The 22-year-old Swedish climate activist was deported from Israel on June 10 after she was allegedly detained by Israeli forces while sailing toward Gaza with humanitarian aid.

Thunberg claims she and 11 other activists were “kidnapped in international waters”, a claim Israeli officials flatly deny — calling the mission ”a selfie yacht” and nothing more than “a media provocation” designed for publicity.

“She’s a young, angry person”

In a pre-recorded video, shared on Instagram shortly after the group’s interception, Thunberg can be heard saying: “If you see this video we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces — or forces that support Israel.”

Speaking to reporters on June 10, Trump was asked whether he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed Thunberg during a phone call they had earlier that day.
