Israel’s Beersheba court on Tuesday issued an 18-month prison sentence against Gaza’s Freedom Flotilla captain Suheil al-Amoudi.

Head of Waed Association Abdullah Qandil told Quds Press that the Israeli occupation authorities accused al-Amoudi 56 of crossing the sea border providing illegal services and working for Hamas.

Qandil said that the Israeli court accused the Palestinian captain of providing services to Hamas and purchasing two boats between 2015 and 2016 for the anti-siege Freedom Flotilla campaign.

He added that al-Amoudi suffers from high blood pressure diabetes and heart problems noting that he is even prevented from taking his medicines by the Israel Prison Service.
