Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video of himself taunting hundreds of Global Sumud Flotilla activists who were abducted by Israel in international waters this week. The video shows dozens of men and women kneeling in rows, with their foreheads to the ground and their hands zip-tied behind their back at the port in Ashdod. According to lawyers representing the flotilla, three activists were taken to the hospital as a result of Israeli violence. This is a portion of Ben-Gvir’s video.

Itamar Ben-Gvir: “They came with much pride, as big heroes. Look. Look. See how they look now. Look. Look at how they look now. Not heroes and not anything. Terror supporters. I tell Prime Minister Netanyahu: Give them to me for much more time. Give them to us for the terrorists’ prisons. This is how it should look.”

Ben-Gvir’s video was roundly condemned around the world. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said, “It is inadmissible that these demonstrators, including many Italian citizens, are subjected to this treatment that violates human dignity.” Spain’s foreign minister called Ben-Gvir’s actions “monstrous, disgraceful and inhumane.” It even drew criticism from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who described Ben-Gvir’s behavior as “despicable,” saying the minister had “betrayed the dignity of his nation.” Huckabee’s rare criticism came a day after the U.S. Treasury announced sanctions against organizers of the Gaza flotilla.
