Israel extends detention of 2 Gaza flotilla activists for ‘questioning’

An Israeli court has extended by two days the detention of two activists arrested aboard a Gaza-bound flotilla that was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters near Greece, their lawyer said on Sunday. Saif Abu Keshek, a Spanish national, and Brazilian Thiago Avila were detained by Israeli authorities late on Wednesday and brought to ⁠Israel, while more than 100 other pro-Palestinian activists aboard the boats were taken to the Greek island of Crete.
