Türkiye, seven countries condemn Ben-Gvir over flotilla detainees
The foreign ministers of Türkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have condemned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir over his treatment of Gaza-bound flotilla participants held in Israeli detention.
In a joint statement issued on May 24, the ministers described Ben-Gvir’s actions as “appalling, degrading and unacceptable.”
They said his public humiliation of detainees amounted to “a disgraceful assault on human dignity” and a clear violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
The ministers also condemned what they called illegal acts of incitement and violence by Ben-Gvir and other Israeli officials against Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory.
