Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev has boasted about the mistreatment of activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla detained by Israel, saying that “prison is the place for terrorism supporters”.
Regev, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, posted a video from Ashdod port in southern Israel showing the arrival of a ship carrying dozens of detained flotilla activists under the title: “This is what will be done to terrorism supporters who came to break the blockade on Gaza.”
In the video, Regev said she had arranged for Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah, to be the first thing heard by the 140 flotilla activists upon their arrival at the port.
“So they understand what will happen to those who arrive in this way to Israel,” she said.
Regev added: “The second Israeli ship is now arriving carrying 140 supporters of terrorism.”
