Yeah that's not happening, Sweden's foreign Minister has already come out and said that Greta Thunberg is safe, is a moron, and doesn't need help but if she does then she'll get the same help by the embassy as any other Swedish citizen:

Several protesters had gathered outside the Parliament House on Monday. This is to call on the Swedish government to act against Greta Thunberg and several other activists being arrested at sea outside Gaza.

"Israel has, as we judge, some opportunities to escort this ship with the international law," the foreign minister said when she was interviewed outside the Chamber.

Israel claims Thunberg is “safe.” Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard believes that Thunberg is currently not in need of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ support.

"There is a great responsibility on those who choose to travel in violation of the advice that exists into a place," says Malmer Stenergard.

“If she gets a need for consular support, we will do everything we can, just as we do with all Swedish citizens,” she continues. Encouraged to put pressure

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs is said to have been called down on Monday, says Malmer Stenergard. This after Greta Thunberg on social media urged “friends, family and comrades” to put pressure on Sweden’s government. This is what Maria Malmer Stenergard can have consequences.

“It is quite dangerous to conduct a campaign that means that the Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ consular emergency services will be called down. As a consequence, that the needy Swedes in the world will have to wait far too long in line, says the foreign minister.
