Overview

• All Global Sumud vessels were intercepted in international waters, with roughly 461–473 activists detained as the last boat was seized on Friday.
• Fifteen Brazilians, including federal deputy Luizianne Lins, are among those held and have been transferred to the Ketziot detention facility in southern Israel.
• Brazilian diplomats spent about eight hours with eight men and five women from the group and verified their health, though detainees reported no food or water in the initial hours.
• Israeli authorities are processing removals and offered detainees a form to expedite deportation; five of 13 Brazilians signaled willingness to sign, while others face judicial procedures.
• Brazil condemned the interception as illegal under international law, demanded releases and consular access, and pressed the case at the UN Human Rights Council with backing from nearly 70 countries.
