By Crispian Balmer and Alexander Cornwell JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said, the day after the Israeli navy prevented her and a group of fellow pro-Palestinian activists from sailing to Gaza.

En route to Gaza with humanitarian aid, the vessel 'Madleen,' carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg, rescued migrants near Crete. Part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the 'Madleen' responded to a distress signal and saved Sudanese individuals who had jumped into the sea to avoid being returned to Libya.
