12 activists underwent medical examinations to make sure they are in good health, the ministry said. They were expected to be kept at the detention facility Ramle before deportation, according to Adalah, the legal group of rights representing them.
Activists had decided to protest against the Israeli military campaign in Gaza and its restrictions on humanitarian aid.
The Freedom Flotilla coalition, which organized the flight, said that the activists were “abducted by Israeli forces” in an attempt to provide desperate help.
“The ship was illegally boarded, its unarmed civil crew was hijacked and its life-saving cargo-counting on baby formula, food and medical accessory-confiscated,” the statement said.
It states that the ship was seized in international waters about 200 kilometers from Gaza, and Adalah claimed that Israel had no “legitimate power” to take over it.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs depicted a flight as a public relations trick, saying in the social media that the “celebrity” “selfies yacht” is safely heading to the coast of Israel “.
It said activists would return to their home countries and assistance will be sent to Gaza using the channels created. It distributed shots of what seems to be Israeli military personnel who, for activists who wore life jackets, handed the sandwiches and water.
“It was not humanitarian aid. It is Instagram activism,” said David Mencer, an Israeli government spokesman. “Meanwhile, Israel has delivered more than 1,200 trucks in the last two weeks. So who really feeds Gaza and who really feeds his ego? Greta did not help, she brought herself.”
