Twenty-three Malaysian activists detained by Israeli forces will return home on Monday after arriving at Istanbul International Airport on Saturday night. The group departed from Ramon Airport in Israel on a Turkish Airlines flight sponsored by the Turkish government and received accommodations at hotels in Istanbul before their journey. Sumud Nusantara Operations Centre Director Datuk Dr. Sani Araby Abdul Alim Araby credited Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and diplomatic efforts for securing their release.

The activists participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla mission with more than 500 people from 44 countries attempting to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza. Sani Araby called for Malaysian unity through prayer for an immediate end to the Gaza conflict and announced plans for a second humanitarian mission pending the opening of the Rafah corridor. The detained Malaysians worked aboard various ships in the flotilla operation.
