    The crew include Rima Hassan, a Franco-Palestinian deputy of the U.E (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rima_Hassan), that has been elected to defend Palestine inside the European Parlement. So that’s not a surprise that the crew has a better treatment that the others.

    I’m surprise that the article do not mention her presence

      She was mentioned in a Wikipedia article related to this voyage that I was reading about. It’s super weird for any article talking about this to exclude her, as she’s arguably as big of a deal as Greta.

      I think they’re getting better treatment because they were very clear that this whole thing is meant to be a publicity stunt. The idea was to have Israel come and intercept them from the start, they never had any plans to actually land on Gaza. This is why they spelled out exactly what they were going to do, why didn’t carry any real amount of aid, and why they were so cooperative when Israel did eventually intercept them.
