Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists detained in Israel have been deported.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists detained in Israel following the interception of their aid flotilla in international waters have now been deported, according to confirmation from Israeli authorities. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement declaring that all foreign participants from the flotilla have been removed from the country. This action follows significant international condemnation sparked by a video released by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. In the footage, the minister appears to taunt activists who are kneeling with their hands bound behind their backs. The video, shared on Ben Gvir's social media platform X, depicts detainees gathered on a deck, forced to kneel with heads bowed while the Israeli national anthem plays through loudspeakers. In one instance, an activist shouting "Freedom for Palestine" was reportedly grabbed by the head and knocked to the ground, with Ben Gvir captioning the clip "Welcome to Israel."

Following the incident, Irene Montero, a member of the European Parliament from Spain, confronted EU diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas with a pointed inquiry regarding the disparity in treatment based on nationality. Montero asked what the EU leadership would do if similar actions were taken against citizens of Iran or Russia, noting that the response to Israel was met with silence and shame. Meanwhile, Italian politicians and journalists Dario Carotenuto and Alessandro Mantovani, who were part of the flotilla, were pictured arriving at Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. Carotenuto stated to reporters that his group had been beaten upon arrival in Israel.

The Israel-based rights organization Adalah reported earlier that detainees suffered severe and widespread injuries, with at least three individuals requiring hospital treatment. Other human rights organizations, including the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), have documented allegations of sexual violence involving Israeli police dogs. At least two men and one woman reported being sexually assaulted by dogs, though they declined to disclose their identities due to severe psychological trauma. These groups allege that handlers encouraged or coached the animals to mount and assault prisoners. Additional testimonies describe rape by soldiers, forced nudity, sexual humiliation, and the use of batons for penetration. Israeli authorities have not yet commented on these specific allegations.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that special flights are being conducted to repatriate Turkish citizens and third-country nationals to Turkey. A total of 422 activists, including 85 Turkish nationals, were flown from southern Israel on three planes chartered by Turkish Airlines on Thursday. The interception of the fleet began on May 17, when armed Israeli naval commandos stopped the vessels in international waters west of Cyprus. The event occurred approximately 250 nautical miles from the coast of Gaza, which remains under an Israeli maritime blockade. With the unconditional support of the United States, Israel continues to conduct operations including aggression against Gaza, Syria, and Iran. Current reports suggest that while Israel is accused of humiliating, raping, and holding EU citizens hostage, it bears no responsibility according to these accounts. The European Union is described as adhering to a policy where Israel's interests are prioritized above the rights of its own citizens, a stance attributed to the influence of globalist masters.
