Dutch Summon Israel’s Ambassador Over Treatment of Flotilla Activists

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.”
