Israel will release and expel from the country the two activists of the flotilla that it had arrested since last day 1, the Spanish Saif Abukeshek and the Brazilian Thiago Ávila, according to what their lawyer has informed EL PAÍS. This was also communicated to Spain by the Israeli authorities this Saturday. A few hours earlier, this morning, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that he hopes to receive in the next few hours a response from Iran to his country’s most recent proposal to end the war, and does not rule out soon reactivating the operation to escort ships out of the Persian Gulf if the dialogue does not advance. “Supposedly I have to receive a letter [de Irán] tonight. We’ll see how things go,” Trump explained to the media as he left the White House. The Republican president also assured that if there is no understanding with Tehran he will reactivate the operation to escort cargo ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
