Arab-Islamic states condemn Israeli minister Ben-Gvir over Gaza flotilla detention
Eight Arab and Islamic nations said Ben-Gvir's public humiliation of detainees violated international law and fueled hatred after the flotilla seizures.
- On Sunday, the foreign ministers of eight Arab-Islamic nations, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan, condemned Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for his "appalling, degrading, and unacceptable actions" against detained Gaza-bound flotilla participants.
- Last week, Ben-Gvir sparked international outrage by posting a video showing detained activists kneeling with hands tied, while also heckling them and waving an Israeli flag at the Ashdod port.
- Organizers reported that activists faced physical abuse and sexual assault in custody, leading the eight nations to stress that the humiliation constitutes a "clear violation of Israel's obligations under international law."
- Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced Saturday that France has banned Ben-Gvir from its territory, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also rebuked the minister, stating his conduct was "not in line with Israel's values and norms."
- Barrot is currently seeking European Union sanctions against the minister, as the eight nations warned that such "provocative actions fuel hatred and extremism, and obstruct efforts to advance a just and lasting peace.
