Tunisian Activist Ali Kniss Returns Home After Being Expelled by Israeli Authorities
Tunisian activist Ali Kniss, a participant in the "Freedom Flotilla" aimed at breaking the Gaza blockade, arrived in Tunis on Monday afternoon, coming from Jordan, after being expelled by the Israeli occupation authorities who had detained him and his companions on board the ship in international waters since October 8.
Upon his arrival at Tunis-Carthage airport, Kniss stated to the media: "It is essential today to focus on what is happening in Gaza, on what the criminal enemy is doing, on stopping the war and rebuilding Gaza." He added: "We must continue on the path to Gaza and support the Resistance, especially since there are more than 10,000 Palestinians in captivity, including over 400 children..."
The Israeli occupation army had detained Ali Kniss and other activists with him in international waters on October 8, while they were on board the ship "Al-Dhamir" (The Conscience), which was participating in the Freedom Flotilla attempting to open a maritime corridor to the besieged Gaza Strip.
