Mandela's grandson returns to South Africa after deportation by Israel

Mandla Mandela and five South African activists were detained in Israel during a humanitarian flotilla mission to Gaza and have now been released and returned to Jordan safely.

  • Six South African activists, including Mandla Mandela, were detained by Israeli authorities while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, claiming they were intercepted in international waters, which is illegal.
  • Dr. Fatima Hendricks described how Israeli soldiers attacked women outside their cell, noting that they were tightly handcuffed and paraded by Israeli forces during their detention.
  • Mandela stated that their mission was humanitarian and non-violent, aiming to break the blockade against Gaza, and they faced brutal treatment from Israeli forces.
  • Despite their detention, Mandela expressed determination to continue their humanitarian efforts and announced plans for future missions to support the Palestinian people.
