Swedish activist Greta Thunberg departed Israel on Tuesday after being detained aboard the Madleen, a Gaza-bound aid ship intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters, the Israeli foreign ministry said.
Thunberg was on a flight to France, where she would continue her journey to Sweden, the ministry said, according to Reuters.
Three other people who had been aboard the charity vessel also agreed to immediate repatriation. Eight other crew members are contesting their deportation order, Israeli rights group Adalah, which advised them, said in a statement. They will be held in a detention centre ahead of a court hearing.
