Overview

• Turkey said a Turkish Airlines flight carrying 137 deported activists, including 36 Turkish nationals and citizens from the US, Italy and other countries, landed in Istanbul.
• Italy’s foreign minister said 26 Italians were on the Istanbul flight and that 15 more remain in Israel pending expulsion.
• Adalah and multiple deportees alleged detainees were zip‑tied on their knees and denied water, medicine and lawyers, with some saying Greta Thunberg was mistreated; Israel called the accounts “complete lies.”
• Pro-Palestinian rallies surged across Europe, with organisers claiming hundreds of thousands in Rome, police estimating 70,000 in Barcelona, and London police reporting at least 355 arrests.
• Israel intercepted roughly 40–45 boats and detained more than 400–450 people in a raid that organisers say occurred in international waters, as Israeli officials defend enforcing the Gaza blockade and allege some activists have Hamas links.
