Italy Probes Detention by Israel of Flotilla Activists
Italian prosecutors opened an unlawful detention probe after Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying more than 50 vessels and removed about 175 activists.
- On Monday, Italian prosecutors opened an unlawful detention investigation following Israeli forces' seizure of an Italian-flagged vessel and detention of Spanish citizen Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila.
- More than 50 vessels departed France, Spain, and Italy aiming to break Israel's blockade of Gaza before Israeli forces intercepted the flotilla in international waters off Greece last week.
- An Israeli court on Sunday extended the detention of Abu Keshek and Avila for two days, while 173 other activists intercepted during the raid were released.
- Italy and Spain released a joint statement on Thursday condemning the seizure and calling on Israeli leaders to "fully respect international law" regarding the operation.
- The Rome prosecutor's office previously opened a similar investigation last October after a humanitarian flotilla attempt involving Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, establishing a pattern of recurring legal challenges.
