"What minister Ben-Gvir and other Israeli ministers revealed in those videos was not an aberration, it was exposure." These were the angry words of Gur Tsabar, a spokesman for the Global Sumud Flotilla whose kneeling, blindfolded, handcuffed activists were taunted by Israel's far-right security minister in a video he posted himself.⁣
⁣
Western governments voiced outrage on Thursday after Ben-Gvir posted the video on the social media platform X.⁣
⁣
The activists, whose vessel was intercepted on Wednesday in international waters by Israeli naval forces as they were trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, were all deported from Israel on Thursday, the Israeli foreign ministry said.⁣
⁣
Their treatment by police officers under Ben-Gvir's direction drew a rebuke from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.⁣
⁣
But Tsabar, speaking to CGTN Europe, questioned the condemnation's sentiment.⁣
