Israel deports two Gaza aid flotilla activists

Israel has deported two foreign activists, Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, who were abducted from a Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters. The activists were among dozens sailing with the flotilla when it was intercepted by the Israeli navy off the coast of Crete. Israel suspected Abu Keshek of affiliation with a "terrorist" organisation and Avila of illegal activity, allegations they denied. The pair was detained for questioning and later deported from Israel after an Israeli court rejected their appeal.
