The videos showing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir walking among some of the approximately 430 detainees after their arrival on navy ships drew a backlash abroad and in Israel, where a fellow government minister called them inappropriate and “disgraceful.”
One video shows activists with their hands tied behind their backs kneeling with their heads touching the floor inside what appears to be a makeshift detention area at Ashdod port and on the deck of a ship.
Ben-Gvir waves a large Israeli flag and tells the detainees: “Welcome to Israel, we are the landlords.” One handcuffed activist shown in the video shouting “Free Palestine” as Ben-Gvir was walking past was immediately pushed to the ground by security personnel.
