Heartbreaking Testimony From Families of Global Sumud Flotilla SA Members Detained in Israel
The United States sanctioned four organisers as Israel said it would deport the detained activists quickly.
- On Monday, May 18, Israel intercepted 54 boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Cyprus, challenging the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
- The Global Sumud Flotilla aims to deliver 10,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Gaza, defying the decades-old naval blockade as a civil society-led coalition.
- Following the interception, Netanyahu ordered authorities to deport activists, while Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the treatment "inadmissible" and several nations summoned Israeli diplomats.
- Earlier this week, authorities issued sanctions against four GSF organisers, accusing them of links to Hamas, a charge the group has denied as propaganda.
- The events recall the 2010 interception when Israeli forces boarded the Mavi Marmara, one of six ships in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, killing nine activists.
