Seafarers in the Mediterranean can breathe a sigh of relief, as that mangy scourge of the high seas, Greta Thunberg, has been arrested after she was among the passengers of the 39-vessel flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces.
Fox News had the details on Greta's latest run-in with the IDF:
Photos and surveillance footage captured the moment Israeli soldiers in helmets and night vision goggles boarded the flotilla. A photo from Israel's foreign ministry showed Thunberg, the most prominent of the flotilla's passengers, accompanied by soldiers following the interception. Israeli officials said those detained included Thunberg, former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, and European Parliament member Rima Hassan, according to the AP.
Yes, the intrepid eco-activist-turned-pro-Palestine-freedom-fighter was apprehended once again, just a few months after the last time the flotilla she was aboard was detained. Ever the dramatic performer, Greta was quick to take advantage of the situation by posting a video to social media:
Have no fear, though, as Greta seemed to be in far less danger than she'd have you think.
Israel's foreign ministry said on X that the activists were 'safe and in good health' and would be transferred to Israel to be deported to Europe.
This is the second time the IDF has bought a carbon-emitting plane ticket for Greta!
No confirmation as of yet on how soon Greta will be shipped back out, but one can assume she'll just turn right back around and set sail again like she did last time.
There's got to be a great reality TV show idea in this somewhere.
