Gaza aid flotilla activists appear in Israeli court after abduction

Two activists from a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, have appeared in court in Israel. They were detained and abducted by Israeli authorities after being intercepted in international waters off Greece. The court extended their detention by two days for further interrogation, with no charges filed against them. The activists face accusations of affiliation with a "terrorist organisation and contact with foreign agents". Their detention and interrogation are considered unlawful by a rights group, which claims they were kidnapped in international waters.
