Israel to Deport Six More Activists from Gaza Aid Vessel

Tel Aviv: Israel is preparing to deport six additional international activists who were aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship, as reported by an Israeli human rights group. These activists are being transferred to Ben Gurion Airport for their deportation, according to Adalah, a rights organization and legal center.

According to Anadolu Agency, the six activists have been identified as Mark van Rennes from the Netherlands, Suayb Ordu from Trkiye, Yasemin Acar from Germany, Thiago Avila from Brazil, Reva Viard, and European Parliament lawmaker Rima Hassan from France. The group is expected to be deported either later today or early tomorrow morning.

These individuals were part of a larger group of 12 international activists who were detained by Israeli forces on Monday while aboard the Madleen aid ship. Earlier in the week, Israel deported four activists to their respective countries, including the notable Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Two other activists, Pascal Maurieras and Yanis Mhamdi from France, are currently still in custody and are anticipated to be deported on Friday.
