Global Sumud Flotilla members say Greta Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold an Israeli flag after she was detained by Israeli soldiers from the fleet.

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag,” Turkish activist Ersin Çelik, a participant in the flotilla, told Anadolu.

Italian journalist Lorenzo Agostino, another flotilla member, also told [Anadolu][2] that Thunberg was “humiliated and wrapped in an Israeli flag and exhibited like a trophy”.
