"Several nations summon Israeli envoys as Ben-Gvir taunts flotilla activists
Global outrage after Ben-Gvir posts video taunting abducted flotilla activists as they knelt with their hands bound.
Several countries, including Italy, France, the Netherlands and Canada, have summoned the Israeli ambassadors to their capitals to express their 'indignation' over Israel’s treatment of the abducted Gaza flotilla activists.
The condemnation came on Wednesday, shortly after Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir published a video on social media, in which he was seen taunting the activists as they knelt on the floor with their hands tied.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Ben-Gvir 'betrayed dignity of his nation' by publishing footage showing human rights campaigners bound, abused and humiliated, but he did not specify he condemned the abuse or only the decision to publish the video.

Israeli forces began overtaking the vessels in international waters off the coast of Cyprus on Monday, organisers said, where they raided boats, allegedly fired rubber bullets and abducted participants."
