Interception and Detention of Activists

All 12 activists were detained by Israeli authorities.
Deportation Process and Resistance
The Israeli foreign ministry announced that the detained activists would be deported. The French foreign ministry reported that five French nationals refused to sign their deportation orders. These individuals are expected to remain in Israeli custody for 96 hours before being forcibly deported. Among those refusing to sign is reportedly Reena Hassan, a French Palestinian member of parliament.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who participated in the mission, has left Israel. The Israeli foreign ministry posted a picture of her on a flight to France, from where she will continue her journey back to Sweden.
Expected Deportations
The remaining activists are expected to be deported either today or within the next few days.
