Israel Deports Two Activists from Global Sumud Flotilla Initiative
Share:
Israel deported two activists associated with the Global Sumud Flotilla initiative, an international effort that attempts to breach Israel's naval blockade of Gaza by sea. Israeli authorities stated they would not permit violations of what they describe as the lawful naval blockade of the Palestinian territory. The Global Sumud Flotilla is part of ongoing international activism aimed at challenging Israel's restrictions on Gaza, which has been under blockade since 2007 when the militant group Hamas took control of the territory.
