Terrorists who brutally killed innocent people in Pahalgam must be punished: Israeli envoy
'India knows what to do to protect its citizens. Interests of India are supposed to be above all,' he told PTI Videos.
Kobbi Shoshan, Consul General of Israel in Mumbai, described the deadly attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists as terrible which reminded him of photos of other terror strikes that happened around the world, especially in Israel.
Mumbai, Apr 28 (PTI) Terrorists who brutally killed innocent people in Pahalgam should be punished, an Israeli envoy said on Monday, stressing that India knows what to do to protect its citizens.
'Terrorists who started such a brutal killing of innocent people should be punished. That's the most important thing,' he added.
On terrorists asking about religion before shooting down tourists in Pahalgam, Shoshan said distinguishing between people is a very common practice in the terrorists' world.
'They know how to distinguish and to make a separation between their population and other populations. When you come to kill some people you are not a human being,' he said. PTI PR NSK

Israel set to deport Greta Thunberg, other activists: Israeli Foreign Ministry
'Greta Thunberg and other pro-Palestinian activists have been taken to Tel Aviv airport ahead of their deportation,' the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday (June 10, 2025), after the Israeli navy prevented them from sailing to Gaza. Israeli forces boarded the charity vessel as it neared Gaza early on Monday (June 9, 2025), trying to break through a years-old naval blockade of the coastal enclave, and seized the 12-strong crew, including Swedish campaigner Thunberg. The British-flagged yacht was taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod and the Foreign Ministry said the activists were transferred overnight to Ben Gurion airport. 'Some of the 'Selfie Yacht' passengers are expected to leave within the next few hours,' the Ministry said in a statement. 'Those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority, in accordance with Israeli law, to authorise their deportation.' 'Consular representatives from the passengers' home countries met them at the airport,' it added. The activists had been carrying a small cargo of humanitarian aid, including rice and baby formula, and said they wanted to raise international awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been devastated by months of war. Israel dismissed the voyage as a pro-Hamas publicity stunt. 'The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels,' the Foreign Ministry said. Ms. Thunberg accused Israel of kidnapping her in international waters. "I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible," she said in a video that was recorded ahead of the Israeli navy action. U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed Greta Thunberg's claim of being kidnapped. 'I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg,' he said. 'She's a young, angry person ... I think she has to go to an anger management class.' Israel has imposed a naval blockade on the coastal enclave since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, saying it aims to stop weapons from reaching Hamas. The blockade has remained in place through conflicts including the war, which began when Hamas-led militants rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, by Israeli tallies. Israel's retaliatory offensive against Hamas has since killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to health officials in Hamas-run Gaza, and destroyed most of the homes of its 2.3 million residents.

‘A strange person': Trump says Greta Thunberg needs ‘anger management class' over ‘kidnapping' by Israel
Thunberg and 11 other activists were stopped from travelling to Gaza after their boat was seized in the Israeli port of Ashdod on Monday. The crew of the 'Madleen' ship were en route to Gaza to deliver aid to Palestinians when their ship was turned back read more US President Donald Trump has said that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg should attend 'anger management' classes after she claimed that the Israeli military 'kidnapped' her. Thunberg and 11 other activists were stopped from travelling to Gaza after their boat was seized in the Israeli port of Ashdod on Monday. The crew of the 'Madleen' ship were en route to Gaza to deliver aid to Palestinians when their ship was turned back, and on Tuesday, the 12 people were brought to the airport for deportation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump said that he had called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said that Thunberg came up during their discussion. 'She's a young, angry person. I don't know if it's real anger; it's hard to believe, actually. But I saw what happened. She's certainly different. Anger management. I think she has to go to an angry management class. That's my primary recommendation for her.' Trump: "I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg" — Ken Klippenstein (@kenklippenstein) June 9, 2025 The aid ship has been organised by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which accused the Israeli military of 'attacking' and 'unlawfully boarding' the Madleen. The Madleen was intercepted about 185 kilometres (115 miles) west of the coast of Gaza, according to coordinates from the coalition. It was carrying rice and baby formula to Gaza, which has been deprived of aid by Israel. The vessel carries citizens from Brazil, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, including Rima Hassan, a French Member of the European Parliament, and Omar Faiad, a French journalist with Al Jazeera. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The seizing of the activist boat carrying aid for Gaza has been condemned by leaders across the world, including Hamas, which demanded the immediate release of the crew and called the interception 'a flagrant violation of international law, and an attack on civilian volunteers acting out of humanitarian motives.' French President Emmanuel Macron called on Israel to quickly free activists. Macron had 'requested that the six French nationals be allowed to return to France as soon as possible,' his office said.

"Young, Angry Person": Trump Reacts To Greta Thunberg's "Kidnapping" Claim
Washington: US President Donald Trump has branded Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as a "strange" and "young, angry person," with "anger issues". He also slammed the young activist's attempt to reach Israel on board the British-flagged ship "Madleen", which was intercepted by Israeli forces in the early hours of Monday. "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... I saw what happened. She's certainly different," Mr Trump said, supposedly referring to a video that emerged on X (Twitter) showing 22-year-old Thunberg appealing for help from the Swedish government after the boat--operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC)-- was captured by Israeli forces. In the video, Thunberg said she was "kidnapped" by Israeli occupational forces, a claim which was dismissed by the Jewish state. The Israeli Foreign Ministry accepted that the "selfie yacht" of the "celebrities" was under its control, but said the vessel was safely making its way to the shores of Israel. "The passengers are expected to return to their home countries," the ministry wrote on X. Trump added, "Anger management - I think she has to go to an anger management class. That's my primary recommendation for has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg." Lmao. President Trump says Greta Thunberg needs anger management classes: 'She's a strange person.. A young, angry person ... I think she has to go to an anger management class.' Another classic Trump moment 🤣 — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) June 9, 2025 The Swedish campaigner was travelling with 11 other activists to deliver a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza amid Israel's blockade on necessary supplies. After the ship was seized by Israeli forces in "international waters, the activists on board were reportedly locked in a cell in Israel and will appear in court later today. Trump reportedly had a 40-minute-long phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. Following the call, the 78-year-old US leader talked about "other problems" Israel faces, but did not confirm if the topic of Thunberg came up in the conversation. Thunberg gained global recognition after a video of her chastising world leaders at the 2019 UN General Assembly Climate summit went viral. The speech was reported pointed at Trump. She was seen giving a "death stare" to the American leader at the summit. At the time, Trump said Thunberg "seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
