"We argued today and that also was emphasized by all the activists that their goal is to enter humanitarian aid to Gaza, to end the famine and to end a genocide in Gaza. Therefore, any violation or any prohibition to entering the humanitarian aid to Gaza is deepening the complicity of Israel in the famine in Gaza."

"We expect that they will be deported as soon as possible. Some of the activists even said in front of the tribunal that they are refusing to be deported. They want to complete the mission of entering the humanitarian aid to Gaza. And they are demanding the continuing of the flotilla into Gaza."

"All of the activists said that they are refusing to sign any paper that says that they entered Israel in an illegal way. And they (are) all saying they are, they are basically kidnapped into Israel."

STORYLINE:
The lawyer for the flotilla passengers still detained in Israel said Tuesday that they are expected to be deported "as soon as possible."
Earlier, the group behind the Gaza-bound ship Freedom Flotilla Coalition said three activists, including Greta Thunberg, had been deported along with a journalist.
It said it had encouraged some to do it so they could speak freely about their experiences.
Eight other passengers refused deportation and were in detention before their case is heard by Israeli authorities.
Adalah, a legal rights group in Israel representing them, said they were expected to be brought before a court later Tuesday.
Lubna Tuma, a lawyer from legal department at Adalah, said "some of the activists even said in front of the tribunal that they are refusing to be deported."
"They want to complete the mission of entering the humanitarian aid to Gaza," she said.
Tuma said the passengers still at a detention facility of Givon Prison in central Israel refused to sign a paper saying that they entered Israel illegally.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, along with rights groups, said Israel’s actions in international waters were a violation of international law.
Israel rejects that charge, saying such ships intend to breach what it argues is a lawful naval blockade of Gaza.
Israel viewed the ship as a publicity stunt, calling it the “selfie yacht” with a “meager” amount of aid that amounted to less than a truckload.
