Upon her arrival at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, Thunberg described the situation as "quite chaotic and uncertain" during the detention.

Israel deported activist Thunberg on Tuesday, a day after the boat she was traveling on to Gaza was seized by the Israeli army.

Thunberg departed on a flight to France and then headed to her home country, Sweden, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a post on X. They posted a photo of Thunberg, a climate activist who avoids air travel, sitting on a plane.
