Rome, Oct 4 (LaPresse) – The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that 137 activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza have been “deported” to Turkey on a charter flight. The group includes citizens from the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Malaysia, Bahrain, Morocco, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Turkey.
“Some activists are deliberately blocking the legal expulsion process, preferring to remain in Israel. At the same time, several foreign governments have been reluctant to accept flights repatriating these provocateurs,” the statement read.
