Activists of the protest flotilla were brought to Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday morning, ready to depart from Israel.

Axar.az, citing JP, reports that some of the activists will be deported in the coming hours, according to the Foreign Ministry.

"Anyone who refuses to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial body in accordance with Israeli law, in order to approve the deportation," the Foreign Ministry clarified.

Four of the activists are departing the country, including Greta Thunberg. However, eight have refused to leave and will be transferred to the Givon detention facility.
