The activists were part of a flotilla attempting to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza, and Ben-Gvir's footage showed him walking among them, waving an Israeli flag and telling them they should be jailed. Netanyahu stated that Ben-Gvir's actions were 'not in line with Israel's values and norms' and instructed that the approximately 430 detainees be deported as soon as possible. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar publicly criticised Ben-Gvir, while a legal advocacy group, Adalah, accused Israeli authorities of abuse, reporting at least two activists were hospitalised after being shot with rubber bullets. International outrage led to the UK, Italy, Canada, Turkey and Greece condemning the treatment of activists and summoning Israeli ambassadors to protest Ben-Gvir's 'unacceptable' and 'disgraceful' display.
