Overview
- Israeli authorities say no vessel reached Gaza and hundreds from the roughly 50‑ship flotilla are being processed for deportation, with four Italian activists already removed from the country.
- Dutch embassy staff visited ten detained nationals at Kzi'ot prison in southern Israel, checking their welfare and explaining next steps, according to the Foreign Ministry.
- Organizers describe encirclement at sea, boardings with water cannons, disrupted communications and discarded phones, and they say some detainees have begun symbolic hunger strikes.
- The Dutch government is providing consular assistance and expects detainees to return soon but has not requested expedited release, while families report limited or no direct contact.
- Protests in the Netherlands pressed for action and police made 205 arrests in The Hague, as deportation timelines may be affected by recent Yom Kippur and Shabbat pauses.
