Israel announced that the last three remaining activists of Madleen aid ship have been deported to Jordan, according to Al-Arabiya.
Last Deportation via Jordan
The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that Israel would release the final three activists of Flotilla ship who attempted to breach Israel’s blockade on Gaza from Israeli custody tomorrow morning.
“The last three participants remaining from the “Selfie Yacht” (flotilla) were transferred this morning to Jordan via the Allenby Crossing,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The activists include Marco van Rennes from the Netherlands, Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi from France.
Deportation of Greta Thunberg
On June 10, the Foreign Ministry announced the deportation of activist and climate campaigner Greta Thunberg to France.
“Greta Thunberg is departing Israel on a flight to France,” the Foreign Ministry posted in X with a photo of Thunberg on a plane.
Deportation of 6 Activists
On Thursday, Israel announced the deportation of six more activists held in detention over their attempt to deliver some humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to the Associated Press.
“After more than 72 hours in Israeli custody following the unlawful interception of the Madleen Freedom Flotilla in international waters … six volunteers are now being transferred to Ben Gurion Airport for deportation,” the Adalah rights group said in a statement.
The group included two French citizens and nationals of Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and Turkey. Israel will deport them later Thursday or early Friday.
“Six more passengers from the ‘selfie yacht,’ including Rima Hassan, are on their way out of Israel.” “Bye-bye — and don’t forget to take a selfie before you leave,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry wrote on X.
Defying Israel’s Blockade on Gaza
Thunberg and 11 other activists sailed to Gaza Strip on June 1 aboard a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gazans.
The aid ship, operated by activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition, set out from the Sicilian port of Catania in southern Italy on a mission to break “Israel’s siege” of the devastated territory, organizers said.
The activists stated that they will try to deliver some aids to Palestinians who are starving due to Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid.
However, Israeli forces have taken control of Madleen yacht and detained activists on board.
