Israeli authorities brutalizing Gaza flotilla activists in a video, which was shared by the country's far-right national security minister, sparked widespread international outrage Thursday.
Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted the video Wednesday, showing detained activists kneeling with their hands tied and foreheads on the ground.
The video, shared on X, was published after Israeli forces intercepted the flotilla's vessels at sea and began detaining hundreds of foreign activists at the southern port of Ashdod.
The video drew swift international uproar after Ben Gvir captioned it "Welcome to Israel" as dozens of activists were forced to kneel with their hands tied and foreheads on the ground. At some points, the Israeli national anthem can be heard playing in the background.
The footage also shows Ben Gvir heckling and waving an Israeli flag among the detained activists.
