The Israeli Occupation’s Foreign Ministry announced the deportation of Spanish activist Saif Abu Kishk and Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila after detaining them over their participation in a flotilla headed toward Gaza to challenge the blockade.

Israeli Occupation said investigations involving the activists had been completed and stressed that no “breach” of the blockade on Gaza would be tolerated.

Last April, Israeli Occupation forces intercepted a flotilla of around 20 boats carrying 175 pro-Palestinian activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave.
