Dateline 10 p.m. EDT Monday. [IsraelTimes] Pro-Palestinian activists on a boat that sought to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza have arrived at Ben Gurion Airport, from where they will be deported to their home countries in the coming hours, the Foreign Ministry says, disparaging their initiative as a “selfie-yacht.”
"It was horrible! They made me fly in Economy!"
“Those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority, in accordance with Israeli law, to authorize their deportation,” the Foreign Ministry adds, noting that consuls from the activists’ home countries met them at the airport.
Thunberg’s Gaza-bound boat towed to Ashdod port; activists refuse to watch Oct. 7 footage
[IsraelTimes] The activist boat that tried to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and was intercepted by the Israeli Navy early on Monday morning reached the Ashdod Port Monday evening.
The Foreign Ministry published photos of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and Brazilian activist Thiago Avila as they disembarked from the Madleen boat.
The detained activists, including Thunberg, would be handed over to police to be deported, and the small amount of aid they brought will be sent into Gaza, Israeli officials have said.
“The ‘Selfie Yacht’ docked at Ashdod Port a short while ago. The passengers are currently undergoing medical examinations to ensure they are in good health,” the Foreign Ministry said.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier that he instructed the military to screen a video showing atrocities committed by the Hamas terror group on October 7, 2023, to the detained activists once they had safely arrived at the port. But, he said later, they refused to watch the footage.
The harrowing 43-minute video produced by the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson’s office shows uncensored, difficult-to-watch footage of people being massacred and bodies mutilated during the Hamas-led onslaught, much of it taken from terrorists’ bodycams.
“Greta [Thunberg] and her flotilla companions were taken into a room upon their arrival for a screening of the horror film of the October 7 massacre, and when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching,” Katz later said in a statement.
“The antisemitic flotilla members are turning a blind eye to the truth and have proven once again that they prefer the murderers to the murdered and continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, adults, and children,” he added.
