”Six more passengers from the 'selfie-yacht', including Rima Hassan (French-Palestinian EU parliamentarian), are on their way out of Israel”, the department writes.

”Goodbye – and do not forget to take a selfie before you leave", the post continues.

Israel has repeatedly referred to the vessel as the ”selfie-yacht” with reference to the activists' presence in social media.

Twelve activists, including Swedish Greta Thunberg, were on board the Madleen when Israeli forces boarded the vessel during the night to Monday and were taken to Israel where they were interrogated.

On Tuesday, Thunberg and three others were deported. Eight of them refused to sign the deportation documents and remained in Israel.
