May 1 (UPI) -- Israel said Friday that two of the 175 activists its navy detained from the Global Sumud Flotilla bringing aid to Gaza had been brought back to Israel for questioning.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs named the two individuals in a post on X as Saif Abu Keshek, who it said was suspected of links to a "terrorist organization," and Thiago Avila, who it said was suspected of "illegal activity."
The ministry said the remainder of the activists detained Thursday after the Israeli Navy intercepted the flotilla in international waters near the island of Crete would be disembarked in Greece, which the Greek government had agreed to.
"We thank it for that," said the foreign ministry.
