The Netherlands will summon Israel's ambassador to address the "unacceptable" treatment of detained Gaza flotilla activists after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared a video showing dozens being forced to kneel with their hands bound, Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen said on Wednesday. "The images shared by extremist Minister Ben-Gvir of detained flotilla activists are shocking and unacceptable," Berendsen said in a post on X. "This treatment of detainees violates basic human dignity. I raised this directly with my Israeli colleague Gideon Saar and will summon the Israeli ambassador."
