Six boat activists in Gaza were deported from Israel after the detention

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that six activists were detained by Israel after their boat intercepted on its way to an attempt to break the Israeli naval blockade in Gaza had been deported.

Earlier, the Israeli Human Rights Group said that it was transferred to Ben Gurion Airport, “after more than 72 hours of Israeli reservation after the illegal objection to Madeleine Freidom Potla in international waters.”

Adala, who provided legal advice to activists, said that two others were on board the plane remaining in the Israeli reservation while waiting for the deportation on Friday.

Among those who left on Thursday, Rima Hassan, was the French -Palestinian member of the European Parliament.

In a publication on X, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said: “Six other passengers from” Sixth Sixth “, including Rima Hassan, on their way out of Israel.

“Goodbye and do not forget to take a personal photo before you leave,” he added.

The post also showed pictures of activists sitting on a plane.

A post on the Xsan’s X account said that she left prison and was inviting people to meet Paris de la Rebopopok at 21:00 (20:00 GMT).

Adalat said that the other five activists who are deported are Mark van Rin from the Netherlands, Sueib Ordo from Türkiye, Yasimin Akar from Germany, Thiaju Avila from Brazil, and Real Vieard from France.

The Rights Organization said that the other two persons who have not yet been deported are Pascal Moriaras and journalist Yannis Muhammadi, both French citizens. They said that they were still in detention in the Jocon prison and was expected to be deported on Friday afternoon.

In a statement issued before the deportation of the six, Adala said: “During his detention, volunteers were subjected to abuse, penal measures, and aggressive treatment, and volunteers were detained for a period of time in solitary confinement.”

He added: “Adalah calls for the immediate release of all eight volunteers and their safe passage to their countries of origin. Their continuous detention and forced deportation are illegal and part of Israel’s ongoing violations of international law.”

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in the past that those who refused to sign the deportation documents will face judicial measures to deport them, according to Israeli law.

A group of 12 people were sailing on the yacht Madeleine when the Israeli authorities intercepted it on Monday, about 185 km (115 miles) west of Gaza.

The campaign, organized by the FLOTILLA (FFC), was aimed at providing a “symbolic” amount of aid to Gaza in challenging the Israeli siege and highlighting the humanitarian crisis there.

At the time, the Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected it as a “selfie” carrying “less than one load of aid.”

After the activists detention, four, including Swedish activist Greta Thonberg and two French citizensAnd he agreed to be deported immediately.

Upon arrival in France, Thonberg accused the Israeli authorities of kidnapping it and other activists on the boat while they were in international waters.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the unauthorized attempts to violate the siege in Gaza were “dangerous and illegal and undermined the ongoing humanitarian efforts.”

He added that the aid that was transferred to the FFC boat, which included infant formula and medicine, will be transferred to Gaza “through real humanitarian channels.”

A organization group said that activists planning to join a pro -Palestinians from Egypt to the southern Gaza border had stopped at Cairo airport on Thursday.

The global march to Gaza said that about 170 people are facing “delays and deportation” at the airport.

“Our legal services are working on these cases, as we all complied with all the legal requirements of the Egyptian authorities,” she said.

The Ministry of Interior in Egypt did not comment on the arrests. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Wednesday, saying that prior approval by the state bodies is required to travel to the Gaza border area.

The march aims to start from El Arish in northern Egypt on Friday with the aim of reaching the Egyptian side of the Rafah borders with Gaza by Sunday. The goal is to challenge the Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid.

About 1500 pro -Palestinian demonstrators traveled in a multi -vehicle convoy from Tunisia to Libya, and they were also aimed at entering Egypt to travel to the Gaza border.

Israel and Egypt have managed to blockade Gaza since 2007, when Hamas took control of the region by overthrowing its competitors, after a year of winning the legislative elections.

Israeli Minister of Defense called Israel Katz Egypt to prevent what he called “the arrival of jihadist demonstrators on the borders of Egypt, Israel.”

Israel suspended all delivery operations from humanitarian aid and commercial supplies to Gaza on March 2 and resumed its military attack after two weeks, which led to a two -month ceasefire with Hamas.

She said that the steps were aimed at pressuring the group to release the hostages who were still detained in Gaza, but the United Nations warned that the 2.1 million Gaza population was facing catastrophic levels of hunger due to the shortage of food.

Three weeks ago, Israel launched an extensive attack to control all Gaza fields. It also partially reduced the siege, allowing a “basic” amount of food.

Israel now gives the priority of distribution through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which it supports with the United States. The United Nations and other relief groups refuse to cooperate with the new regime, saying that it contradicts the humanitarian principles of neutrality, neutrality and independence.

20 months have passed since Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to an attack across the border led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

At least 55,207 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.
