Outcry Escalates Over Israeli Minister's Video of Gaza Flotilla Activists The video footage of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir taunting detained activists from a Gaza bound aid flotilla has sparked international condemnation, with several EU officials and Australia joining the chorus.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of Israel's delicate diplomatic balance in the Middle East. Ben Gvir was captured on camera heckling the activists while they were detained and their hands tied.
European Council President Antonio Costa expressed his "appallment" at the treatment of the detainees, while Poland summoned the Israeli envoy in Warsaw over the incident.
