Israel’s Foreign Ministry publishes photos of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and Brazilian activist Thiago Avila as they disembark from the Madleen boat that had attempted to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The boat was intercepted by the Israeli Navy overnight and towed to Ashdod Port, where the 12 activists are to be handed over to police to be deported.
“The ‘Selfie Yacht’ docked at Ashdod Port a short while ago. The passengers are currently undergoing medical examinations to ensure they are in good health,” the Foreign Ministry says.
