From: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Published on: 6 October 2025 Last updated on: 6 October 2025 I can confirm that the Irish citizens detained in Israel have been released and are currently on their journey home. This welcome outcome was secured after a weekend of intensive efforts by officials from across my Department, including the Embassy team in Tel Aviv, working in conjunction with international partners. I know that this has been a difficult time for both the Irish citizens and their families, and I pay tribute to their strength throughout. Dublin-based officials of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade remain in close contact with family members who have requested our support, and will continue to update them. I am also aware of a number of Irish citizens participating in other Flotillas en route to Gaza and have instructed my Department to closely monitor that evolving situation. While my Department continues to advise against travel to the Gaza Strip, in this case our clear priority is to ensure the welfare of our citizens. As we welcome our citizens home, Ireland will continue to call for all efforts to reach an immediate ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas, and unhindered humanitarian access to the people of Gaza at scale.

Cartoon of an Israeli navy gunship pulled up by a small Global Sumud Flotilla yacht. Many IDF soldiers point weapons at the lone sailor on the yacht. A soldier with a loudhailer announces "we're kidnapping you in international waters to take you to a country you weren't going to in order to deport you from that country."

Caricature of David Quinn as a superhero called Equal Time Man with a headline saying IN THE NAME OF BALANCE and a caption saying NOT A HOMOPHOBE while the main character says things like children deserve a mother and a father. He's packing a massive bulge in his superhero underpants because he was such an avatar of straight white male virility.

Solved it.
Black and white cartoon featuring 3 doors. One door is much further away than the first two. The first two doors have male and female toilet door signs. The third door which is further away has a sign that says TERFS. There is a caption in the top left corner that says "SOLVED IT."
