Israel says it will release all the foreign nationals seized on board an aid flotilla trying to break its blockade of Gaza.
The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it hoped deportations would be completed within 48 hours.
At least nine pro-Palestinian activists died when
Israeli commandos raided the six-ship convoy early on Monday.
Amid international criticism Israel says its troops acted in self-defence, but campaigners deny this.
The incident has sparked widespread concern and led to calls for Israel to lift its blockade of the
Gaza Strip.
Israel has maintained control of Gaza's airspace and territorial waters, as well as most of its land borders, since withdrawing troops and settlers from the territory in 2005. - BBC
