Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday, the country's foreign ministry said, the day after she and other activists were detained while trying to deliver a symbolic shipment of aid to Gaza by sea.

Television personality Piers Morgan blasted climate activist Greta Thunberg for claiming she was “kidnapped” by Israeli forces during a pro-Palestinian mission, calling her statements “attention-seeking” and “an insult” to victims held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
