National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to the investigation opened against him in Italy following his treatment of activists from the recent flotilla that set sail toward the Gaza Strip. "The boot country has become the flip-flop country," he said. "Israel is not a punching bag for a bunch of lying terror supporters who fabricate libels and lies against our fighters. I will not be deterred by this investigation or any other and will continue to stand proudly alongside our fighters."
