Despite his health,theactivist Saif Abukesh has been in a state of shock  since he was arrested by Israel last Thursday.

Sally has been informed by her consulate in Tel Aviv in Spain, while Saif Abukesh and the Brazilian activist Thiago Avila have been taken to Israel after being arrested in Greek waters while participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla.

As we said, a few hours later, Abukesh had about ten minutes of conversation with the consular staff, and they said in a "good" state of health, despite some "small wounds" on his body. 

He was on a surveillance boat 

Sally has assured us that her husband had no intention of reaching Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla because he did not want to deal with this dangerous situation. In this regard, she has explained that she was on board a ship doing surveillance work.
