Israel was widely condemned for the “monstrous” and “unacceptable” humiliation of activists who were detained after trying to deliver humanitarian aid by boat to Gaza.
Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, said she was “truly appalled” by a video posted by Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli national security minister, in which he taunted protesters as they knelt on the floor with their wrists tied.
“We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved,” Ms Cooper said.
Around 430 protesters from more than 40 different countries were filmed in a makeshift detention area in the port of Ashdod and on the deck of a ship.
The minister waved a large Israeli flag and mockingly told the detainees: “Welcome to Israel, we are the masters of the house.” One female activist shouted “Free Palestine” as Mr Ben-Gvir walked past and was immediately pushed to the ground by security staff.
In a second video, Mr Ben-Gvir said the Global Sumud Flotilla activists “came here all full of pride like big heroes, look at them now”.
He said Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, should give him permission to imprison them.
The activists, who were handcuffed and made to kneel with their heads touching the floor, were detained after being arrested in international waters and stopped from reaching Gaza.
Earlier, Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, demanded that Israel apologise for its “unacceptable” treatment of the activists.
The Italian government summoned the Israeli ambassador in Rome to give an explanation.
Ms Meloni and Antonio Tajani, Italy’s foreign minister, said Rome “demands an apology for the treatment” of the activists.

1) Israel should have killed every single member of Hamas
2) Israel should have also killed every single person who has supported Hamas, including these “humanitarian activists.”
3) The activists are more interested in delivering a message ( a pro- Palestinian, anti-Israel message) than providing humanitarian aid.
4) The only solution for the Gaza situation is to re-locate all of its residents far from Israel. The Gaza Strip should then be converted into “The Greta Thunberg and Al Gore Sustainable, Gluten free, Carbon Neutral, Anti Global Warming, Nature Preserve” (just to make progressives heads explode)
Whatever Israel did to this filth was nowhere near severe enough.
They should have let the “protesters” go to Gaza but then not let them leave.
Yeah, about that - how the Gazians treated Israeli captives.
The only war crime Israel is guilty of is not levelling Gaza once and for all and turning it into the world’s largest drifting course. It would be a great location for the next Fast and Furious sequel, PROMISED LAND DRIFT 😁😁
10-4.
Thye were lucky they weren’t hung from the yardarm. But why the minister felt the need to make this video I beyond me.
The Israelis didn’t do enough. They should have bulldozed them out of existence
