Overview

• At a White House press conference, President Donald Trump labeled Thunberg a troublemaker, called her crazy and said she should see a doctor when asked about the Gaza aid flotilla.
• Thunberg replied with irony on social media, thanking Trump for the “compliments” and suggesting his own record shows problems managing anger.
• Thunberg was detained during the Global Sumud Flotilla operation and deported to Greece, arriving in Athens after Israeli forces stopped the convoy at sea.
• Speaking in Athens, she alleged mistreatment in custody but urged attention on what she described as a genocide unfolding in Gaza.
• Reports indicate Israel has deported roughly 170 flotilla participants and is holding about 138 others, drawing diplomatic objections and calls for their return.
