Israeli minister’s own video of abuse sparks global outrage
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing security forces abusing activists trying to break the Gaza blockade, sparking condemnation from several countries and human rights groups. The incident fits a pattern of documented mistreatment of Palestinians, including sexual abuse, beatings and dog attacks, which B’Tselem has called ‘state policy’. Global backlash has been swift, with multiple European nations summoning Israeli ambassadors and a genocide case proceeding at the International Court of Justice.
