Israeli Court Extends Detention of Global Sumud Flotilla Activists

An Israeli court in Ashkelon extended the detention of Spanish activist Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Ávila by two days on May 3, 2026. The two were among 175 activists intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters off Greece on Thursday while attempting to break the Gaza naval blockade. Spain and Brazil have condemned the detentions as 'illegal abductions' in international waters, while Israel alleges the activists are linked to a Hamas-associated network.
