Israel deports six from Gaza aid boat Madleen, two more still in custody

Palestinian rights group Adalah has confirmed Israel’s deportation of six more activists detained on board the Madleen aid ship as they sought to draw international attention to Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza.

The rights group, which legally represented the 12 passengers who were seized by Israeli forces in the eastern Mediterranean earlier this week, said on Thursday that the six detainees – two French citizens, including Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, and nationals of Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and Turkiye – had departed Israel.
