Israel’s Foreign Ministry publishes a video showing detained activists from a boat bound for Gaza being escorted by the Israeli Navy to the Ashdod Port.
“All the passengers of the ‘selfie yacht’ are safe and unharmed. They were provided with sandwiches and water. The show is over,” the ministry says on X.
Earlier, the ministry said that the boat, Madleen, was being towed to Israeli shores, that the activists would be deported, and the “tiny amount of aid” it was carrying would be sent to Gaza.
