(SeaPRwire) – International backlash has focused on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir following his mockery of captured activists
On May 18, the Global Sumud Flotilla was stopped by the Israeli military in international waters en route to Gaza, blocking the ships from entering the territory and resulting in the detention of over 400 activists representing roughly 40 nations.
Departing from Türkiye, the convoy aimed to defy the naval blockade imposed by Israel and highlight the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza. Among those held are nationals from Italy, the UK, Canada, Türkiye, Greece, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Ireland, and New Zealand.
The situation intensified when Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared footage of the bound detainees kneeling with their heads to the floor as he strolled past, jeering at them and labeling them terror sympathizers.
