The ministry said in a statement on the X platform that the ship's passengers arrived at Ben Gurion Airport to leave Israel and return to their countries.
She added that they are expected to leave within the next few hours.
She noted that "anyone who refuses to sign the deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority in accordance with Israeli law, in order to approve their deportation."
She also noted that consuls from the activists' countries met them at the airport.
The ship "Madeleine" had set sail from the coast of the Italian island of Sicily in early June, carrying 12 activists, as part of the "Freedom Flotilla Coalition" to break the blockade imposed on Gaza.
Early Monday morning, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the ship "Madeleine" while it was sailing in international waters. The storming was preceded by a live broadcast from the activists on board, in which they reported that Israeli boats were surrounding the ship, while the occupation soldiers demanded that the activists raise their hands.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide left more than 181,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and famine claimed the lives of many, including children, as well as widespread destruction.
