JAKARTA - Israel has extended the detention of two Global Sumud Flotilla activists - a fleet of aid ships to the Gaza Strip - until May 10.
Two activists who are still being held by Israel are Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish and Swedish citizen of Palestinian descent, and Thiago Avila, a Brazilian citizen.
Last week, the humanitarian activist group said Israeli forces boarded their boat and detained 180 activists, 178 of whom were later released.
The Israeli newspaper's report said Saif and Thiago were suspected of "assisting the enemy during the war" and being members of a "terrorist organization."
The Global Sumud Flotilla fleet departed from Barcelona on April 15.
On April 29, Israeli forces seized the vessels near Crete and damaged their engines and navigation systems, according to activists.
The following day, foreign ministers from 11 countries - Turkiye, Brazil, Jordan, Pakistan, Spain, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Colombia, Maldives, South Africa, and Libya - condemned the attack and demanded legal accountability from Israel.
