Israel to release two Gaza flotilla activists from prison

Israel will release two foreign activists taken off a Gaza-bound flotilla from detention on Saturday before handing them to immigration authorities ahead of their deportation, the rights group representing them said.

"Today, the Shabak Israeli intelligence agency informed Adalah's legal team that Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) activists and leaders Thiago Avila and Saif Abukeshek would be released from Israeli detention today, Saturday 9 May 2026," Adalah said in a statement, adding the pair "will be handed to Israel's immigration authorities later today and kept in custody pending their deportation."

Spanish national Saif Abukeshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila were brought to Israel for questioning last week after their flotilla was intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters off Greece.
