Two Gaza aid flotilla activists brought to Israel for questioning

Two activists who participated in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla have been brought to Israel for questioning, the Israeli foreign ministry said Saturday, after the vessels were intercepted by Israeli forces this week.

Spaniard Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila, a Brazilian, are now in Israel and "will be transferred for questioning by law enforcement authorities," the ministry said on X, adding that the two activists were affiliated with an organisation sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department.
