Overview

• An Israeli Detention Review Tribunal ordered 14 Handala flotilla participants to remain in Givon prison until their deportation process is complete.
• Among those detained are Australians Robert Martin and Tan Safi, alongside lawyers, two European Parliament members, and two Al Jazeera journalists.
• The Handala was intercepted in international waters on July 27 while carrying baby formula, basic medication, and toys intended for Gaza.
• Lawyers from the Adala advocacy group argue the interception breaches international humanitarian law and a 2024 advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice.
• The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it is preparing further missions to challenge Israel’s naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
