At the expense of international criticisms after her arrest Greta Toenberg and other Philopalaistine activists, the Israel It denounces a “misinformation campaign”. The Israeli authorities have described the accusations of “shameless lies”.
In a statement published on the X platform (formerly Twitter), the Israeli Foreign Ministry argues that “all Greta Tuneg and other prisoners are fully kept”.
The ministry also points out that Tanberg and the rest of the prisoners refused to dismiss them, choosing to remain in custody.
“It is interesting that Greta herself and other prisoners refused to expedite their deportation,” the ministry said. “He never filed a complaint to the Israeli authorities for these irrational and unfounded accusations – simply because they never happened.”
The claims regarding the mistreatment of Greta Thunberg and other detainees from the Hamas–Sumud flotilla are brazen lies.
All the detainees’ legal rights are fully upheld.

On the contrary, the Adalah legal support organization, which represents activists, says that many of them have been deprived of food and water, while some denounce violent behavior by the Israeli security forces. According to the same sources, Tuneberg allegedly suffered herbits in her cell.
‘Proud’ for the conditions of detention
The Minister of National Security, Ithamar Ben Gvir, a prominent Israeli far -right figure, has publicly defended the cruelty of detention conditions in the Keziot prison, where activists are being held.
“I am proud to treat these activists as supporters of terrorism. Anyone who supports terrorism is a terrorist and deserves the same conditions as the terrorists. It is advisable to experience the conditions of the Keziot prison and to think twice before approaching Israel again, “he said after his visit there.
Sweden is closely watching the case
Greta Tundberg is alleged to have met with representatives of the Swedish embassy, but not yet with a lawyer, according to Adalah, who is trying to secure the expulsion of activists abroad.
Ben Gvir also argued that Flotila did not carry any humanitarian aid to Gaza, despite the organizers’ claims.
“I was on their ships: I saw no help, no humanitarian mission. I only saw a group of people who represented the human rights defenders, but in practice they came to support terrorism and have fun against us, “the minister said.
