Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video on Wednesday of some 430 activists detained from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, many of them bound and kneeling, accompanied by the message: "Welcome to Israel." European governments and Israeli politicians were quick to denounce the video.
The footage, published on Ben-Gvir's X account, shows dozens of activists on a military boat with the Israeli national anthem blaring and the minister seen waving an Israeli flag.
