Donald Trump reacted sharply to news that Greta Thunberg was detained by Israeli forces aboard a humanitarian aid boat bound for Gaza. Thunberg claimed she was “kidnapped” when Israeli military intercepted the vessel in international waters, sparking international debate.
Trump dismissed her claim, calling her “a strange, young, angry person” who needs anger management. He expressed disbelief over the “kidnapping” accusation.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which organized the aid boat, condemned the interception, saying Israel violated international law by seizing supplies intended for Gaza, where a blockade has caused a severe humanitarian crisis with over 54,000 reported deaths since 2023.
