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 activists onboard the Madleen, were intercepted by Israel's military early on Monday and taken to the port of Ashdod.

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. This is a breaking news story.
