Trump, Morgan Criticize Thunberg After Israel Detention

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained by Israeli forces along with other activists aboard the aid ship Madleen as they attempted to breach the Gaza blockade. Israel intercepted the vessel in international waters, justifying the action as necessary to prevent arms smuggling to Hamas. Thunberg described her detention as a 'kidnapping' in a viral video, sparking controversy and strong reactions from public figures, including former President Donald Trump, who criticized her demeanor, and Piers Morgan, who accused her of exaggerating the incident. Israeli officials stated that the activists were treated professionally and minimized the significance of the aid delivered. The event has reignited debate over the Gaza conflict, humanitarian activism, and how such incidents are portrayed in the media. The blockade and conflicting narratives continue to divide international opinion.
