Israel deports two abducted Gaza aid flotilla activists

Two foreign activists, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, have been deported from Israel after being abducted from a Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters. They were suspected of affiliation with a "terrorist" organization and illegal activity, but denied the allegations, stating they were on a humanitarian mission for Gaza's civilian population. Their arrest in international waters was deemed unlawful by Spain, Brazil, and the United Nations. An Israeli court had previously rejected an appeal contesting their detention.
