• At a White House press conference, President Donald Trump labeled Thunberg a troublemaker, called her “crazy,” and said she “should see a doctor.”
• Thunberg replied with sarcasm on social media, thanking him for the “compliments” and suggesting he also has anger‑management problems.
• The activist was detained during the Global Sumud Flotilla, which Israel intercepted in international waters, and she was deported to Athens before returning to Sweden on Tuesday.
• Upon release, Thunberg accused Israel of committing a “genocide” in Gaza and described alleged mistreatment in custody, including abuse, lack of potable water, and threats against detainees.
• Reports on detainee and deportee totals conflict, with figures ranging from about 135 to 170 deportations and at least 138 still imprisoned, as officials in Cuba and Brazil publicly criticized Israel’s actions.
