Israel deported British pro-Palestinian activist Finn Joughin following his kidnapping by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, Al Jazeera English reported. Joughin, who volunteered to protect Palestinian children, now faces a 10-year ban from entering the country.
The activist was seized by settlers during his work in occupied Palestinian territory. Israeli authorities subsequently moved to expel him, citing his activities and the circumstances surrounding his abduction. The incident reflects the volatile environment in which international volunteers operate alongside Israeli civilian populations in the West Bank, where clashes between the two groups have grown increasingly common in recent years.
