The footage published by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in which he is seen humiliating Gaza flotilla activists, drew condemnations from some 24 countries and was prominently reported by major media outlets worldwide. The French newspaper Le Monde wrote that 'by distributing a humiliating video of European activists from the Gaza flotilla, Ben-Gvir sheds light on his policy of abusing Palestinian detainees.' The BBC wrote: 'Far-right minister condemned for taunting shackled Gaza flotilla activists.' Italy's Corriere della Sera published a profile piece on Ben-Gvir, which stated: 'The most extreme minister (whom Bibi will forgive again).' Prominent headlines also appeared in the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, CNN, NBC and Britain's The Guardian.
