Piers Morgan slams Greta Thunberg’s ‘kidnapped’ claim as insult to hostages

Published June 9, 2025 9:40pm ET



Television personality Piers Morgan blasted climate activist Greta Thunberg for claiming she was “kidnapped” by Israeli forces during a pro-Palestinian mission, calling her statements “attention-seeking” and “an insult” to victims held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.

“Oh shut up, @GretaThunberg — you attention-seeking narcissist,” Morgan posted on X on Monday. “What an insult to the actual hostages in Gaza who really WERE kidnapped. This stupid stunt is all about your ego, and will make zero difference to the plight of innocent Palestinians caught up in this dreadful war.”
