Relying of activists
Israel is currently holding eight activists. The remaining four, including two French citizens and Greta Thunberg, have already been deported.
Meanwhile, AFP, referring to the human rights organization Adalah representing the detainee activists, informed that Israel has placed two activists in solitary confinement.
“The Israeli authorities have taken two volunteers – Brazilian volunteer Thiaga avil and the French -Palestinian member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan – to separate prison facilities, separately from others, and placed them in solitary confinement,” said Adalah.
Madleen’s journey
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs told AFP that it was reviewing these reports.
The Madleen ship operated by the Propalestine Coalition of the Freedom (FFC) coalition (FFC) sailed under the flag of Britain, and 1 June sailed from the port city of Catania on the Italian island of Sicily. The aim was to deliver a symbolic amount of help for civilians to Gaza on June 9 and raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis caused by blocking the supply of help from Israel, which has been fighting the Palestinian militant Hamas movement for 20 months.
