Greta Thunberg deported by Israel
Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel following her failed attempt to sail to Gaza and deliver aid to Palestinians.
Israel has released an image of the despondent climate campaigner onboard a flight to Paris, despite Ms Thunberg's refusal to use air travel because of its environmental impact.
'Greta Thunberg is departing Israel on a flight to France,' the Israeli foreign ministry said in the post.
The 22-year-old appeared to be sitting on the back row of the plane in an economy seat and the five-hour flight will probably emit more than half a ton of CO2 per person.
Ms Thunberg, along with 11 other activities onboard the Madleen, were intercepted by Israel's military early on Monday and taken to the port of Ashdod.
She declared that she had been 'kidnapped' by 'Israeli occupation forces', but was later pictured smiling as soldiers handed out sandwiches and bottles of water.
Upon arrival at Ashdod, Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, ordered the activist group – part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition – to watch a video of Hamas's Oct 7 atrocities.
Ms Thunberg had set out to protest against Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip and its restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid.

Syria's post-war economic recovery will require 'substantial' international support, IMF says
Syria will need 'substantial international" support for its efforts to rehabilitate the economy, meet urgent humanitarian needs, and rebuild essential institutions and infrastructure, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday. Syria cannot afford hundreds of billions of dollars of damages and losses from the conflict that first started as protests in 2011 against former President Bashar Assad 's totalitarian government. Since current President Ahmad al-Sharaa led an insurgency that ousted the Assad dynasty in December 2024, countries have gradually restored ties with Syria. During a five-day visit by the IMF in early June — the first to Syria by the 191-country lending organization since 2009 — its team met with officials from the public and private sectors, notably the finance minister and central bank governor. 'Syria faces enormous challenges following years of conflict that caused immense human suffering and reduced its economy to a fraction of its former size,' the IMF said. 'While the years of conflict and displacement have weakened administrative capacity, staff at the finance ministry and central bank demonstrated strong commitment and solid understanding.' Some 6 million people fled Syria during the conflict, and the United Nations estimates that 90% of those who stayed lived in poverty and relied on humanitarian aid to survive. Half a million people were killed in the conflict. Damascus now anticipates investments and business projects with Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and others, as they reestablish flight paths and hold high-level political and economic meetings. U.S. President Donald Trump said that Washington will lift decadeslong sanctions against Syria, but it is unclear how long that process could take. Britain and the European Union had eased some restrictions. Meanwhile, oil-rich nations Saudi Arabia and Qatar paid off Syria's debt to the World Bank, valued at near $15 billion. The IMF said it is developing a roadmap for Syria's policy and capacity building priorities for key economic institutions, including the finance ministry, central bank, and statistics agency. But Syria has a laundry list of reforms it must undertake, including improving its tax collection system, making sure its national budget can pay public sector salaries and basic healthcare and education, empowering the central bank to take measures to bring back confidence to the local currency, and rehabilitate its outdated and battered banking system in line with international standards. In 2017, the United Nations estimated that rebuilding Syria would cost about $250 billion. Since Assad was overthrown, some experts say that number could be as high as $400 billion.

Penny Wong slammed by US Secretary of State after introducing sanctions on Israeli officials
Australia has come under fire from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for backing sanctions against two senior Israeli officials, accusing it of turning a blind eye to the 'real enemy'. Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced on Wednesday the targeted sanctions in a joint statement alongside her counterparts from Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. The measures - which include travel bans and financial sanctions - are against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who have been accused of inciting 'extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights'. Mr Ben-Gvir, from the Jewish Power party, and Mr Smotrich, of the Religious Zionism Party, are members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's coalition government. Mr Rubio on Wednesday said that he conemns the move, 'These sanctions do not advance U.S.-led efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home, and end the war,' he said. 'We reject any notion of equivalence: Hamas is a terrorist organization that committed unspeakable atrocities, continues to hold innocent civilians hostage, and prevents the people of Gaza from living in peace. 'We remind our partners not to forget who the real enemy is. Asked about Mr Rubio's condemnation of the sanctions, the foreign minister said that despite their differences Australia and the US remained aligned on strategic interests. 'We will continue to be part of the international call for aid to enter (Gaza) unhindered, unimpeded,' Senator Wong said. 'That is Israel's obligation. 'These two ministers have been the most extremist and hard line of an extremist settler enterprise, which is both unlawful and violent. 'Australia can't shift the dial on the Middle East by ourselves. 'What we can do is act with others, and that's what we've done.' 'We will continue to advocate for a ceasefire and the return of hostages, and we will continue to condemn Hamas and its terrorist ideology.' Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called the sanctions 'outrageous' and said his government would hold a meeting early next week to decide how to respond to the 'unacceptable decision' made by the five countries. Although the sanctions focus on the West Bank, the foreign ministers said 'this cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza'. The Australian Jewish Association said it was appalled by the federal government's actions and accused it of anti-Semitism. 'This action represents a hostile and unjustified attack on a democratic ally and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms,' CEO Robert Gregory said. 'This government's willingness to engage with authoritarian regimes... while targeting the world's only Jewish state, exposes a disturbing double standard. 'There is no other explanation for this disparity than blatant antisemitism.' 'This government's willingness to engage with authoritarian regimes, including Holocaust deniers like Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, while targeting the world's only Jewish state, exposes a disturbing double standard. 'There is no other explanation for this disparity than blatant anti-semitism.' The Australian Centre for International Justice said the decision was a significant step and would send a clear message. 'These measures directly respond to the compelling evidence implicating Ben-Gvir and Smotrich in inciting extremist violence and serious human rights violations against Palestinians,' acting executive director Lara Khider said.
