Israel: Regime says it has released hundreds of activists kidnapped by pirates

Source: Associated Press

“The Israeli government said Thursday that hundreds of flotilla activists who attempted to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza have all been released and deported. Outrage abroad over the activists’ treatment prompted several countries to summon Israeli envoys to hear their concerns. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement that ‘all foreign activists’ from the flotilla had been deported. They were being flown out of Israel from a civilian airport near the southern Israeli city of Eilat, according to the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, or Adalah.” (05/21/26)
