‘Go to an anger management class': Trump on ‘strange' Greta Thunberg amid Gaza mission
US President Donald Trump has responded to the Freedom Flotilla's interception by Israel, which was carrying several activists including Greta Thunberg. 'Well, she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person – I don't know if it's real anger; it's hard to believe actually,' he said. 'I think she has to go to an anger management class. That's my primary recommendation for her.' This comes after Israeli forces took command of a charity vessel which had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. In a video uploaded to X, Ms Thunberg told FFC followers they had been 'intercepted and kidnapped' by Israel and called on the Swedish government to put pressure on the Netanyahu government.
