Captured Activists Safe To Be Deported Israeli Ministry Claims

---

 


The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it will deport the activists captured from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) soon.
Referring to the activists as “Hamas-Sumud passengers”, the ministry also said those captured are safe, in good health, and headed to Israel.
“Hamas-Sumud passengers on their yachts are making their way safely and peacefully to Israel, where their deportation procedures to Europe will begin. The passengers are safe and in good health,” it said on X.
Earlier today, Bernama reported that the Israeli navy boarded two of the GSF ships - Alma and Sirius - at 9.44pm Gaza time (2.44am Malaysian time) while they were sailing through the high-risk Red Zone R3 in the Mediterranean Sea.
Those onboard the ships hail from various nations. Alma was carrying Malaysian humanitarian delegates Musa Nuwayri, Iylia Balqis Suhaimi, and Sul Aidil, while Sirius had onboard Haikal Abdullah, Muaz Zainal, Zulfadhli Khiduddin, and Rusydi Ramli.
According to Bernama, the Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) reported that the Morgana vessel visually confirmed the Zionist interception of Alma, while Sirius received a mayday signal and visual confirmation from Grande Blu. However, neither boat received an SOS signal.

Apart from those on Alma and Sirius, two other delegates - singer Zizi Kirana aboard Huga and actress Ardell Aryana aboard Mikeno - were also unreachable.
‘Disregarding global conscience’
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had since condemned Israel’s actions, stressing the ships were only carrying life-saving humanitarian supplies for Palestinians in Gaza.
He pointed out that the action reflected Israel’s disregard not only for the rights of Palestinians but also for the global conscience.
Earlier, a demonstration was held outside the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur following Israel’s move.
A commotion ensued between the protesters and police, leading to two people getting arrested. - Mkini
