An Israeli human rights organization said that two foreign workers detained from a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla will be brought before a court in Ashkelon today. The flotilla, consisting of more than 50 vessels, had departed from France, Spain, and Italy with the aim of breaking the Israeli blockade and delivering food and emergency aid to Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.

Israeli forces intercepted the flotilla in international waters near Greece on Thursday. Authorities stated that around 175 workers were removed from the vessels, with two taken to Israel for questioning. The detained individuals were identified as Saif Abu Keshek of Spain and Thiago Avilo of Brazil. Human rights group Adalah’s international advocacy coordinator, Miriam Azem, said the two had not yet been presented before the court.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding humanitarian efforts to deliver aid to Gaza amid Israel’s blockade, though further details on the legal proceedings remain unclear.
