The legal team supporting the Global Sumud Flotilla announced Saturday that as many as 280 participants held by Israeli forces completed initial procedures before Israel’s immigration court, Anadolu reports. Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Thursday and detained more than 470 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave. According to the legal team, 100 participants who signed a “fast-track deportation” document and refused to appear before an Israeli judge are expected to be deported on Saturday.
