Israel said on Thursday that six individuals detained aboard a boat attempting to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza were now on a plane departing the country, including European parliamentarian Rima Hassan.
"Six more passengers from the 'selfie yacht', including Rima Hassan, are on their way out of Israel. Bye-bye -- and don't forget to take a selfie before you leave," the foreign ministry wrote on X, accompanied by photos of Hassan and other deportees.
