If she didn't have such a large online and social presence I'm sure nobody would have seen her again, or at least not for a couple years. Which is also the reason they wanted her out of there as soon as possible because she would have told it like it is everywhere she went.

Keep an eye on the remaining 8 who are still in Israeli detention.

She could had refused it. Not jugding her as it is brave enough to throw yourself at fascists for a political statement but i know at least Rima Hasan refused being expelled. This force them having to illegaly keep an european deputy as a criminal when everyone know what Israel did is piratry as the boat was in international waters. It also put French government as this is french citizen being illegaly detained by Israel and they much rather get them back silently than having to interfere and defend them. Again not blaming Greta just wanna highlight this move that is also brave and brillant

Was Greta made to sign the same thing as Rima?

Honest question. Haven't had time to keep up with the news today
