Greta Thunberg Details Torture in Israeli Detention: “Beatings, Gassing & Caging”

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has shared shocking details of alleged torture and abuse during her five-day detention in Israel after joining a flotilla to deliver aid to Gaza. In an interview with Aftonbladet, Thunberg described being beaten, kicked, caged, and denied water — while guards mocked her and other detainees. She recounted scenes of humiliation, threats of gassing, and deprivation that have sparked outrage across the world. Israel’s foreign ministry, however, has dismissed the claims as “complete lies.” In this video, we break down Greta’s testimony, the disturbing treatment she described, and the larger political storm it has reignited.
