Five French activists aboard a boat carrying aid bound for Gaza that was intercepted by Israeli security forces were set to face an Israeli judge, the French foreign minister said on Tuesday.

“Our consul was able to see the six French nationals arrested by the Israeli authorities last night,” Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on X. “One of them has agreed to leave voluntarily and should return today. The other five will be subject to forced deportation proceedings.”
