Europe Decides To BAN Ben Gvir Over Flotilla VIDEO? Italy To Push For SANCTIONS On Israeli Minister

A major diplomatic crisis is unfolding after Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a controversial video showing detained pro Palestine activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla restrained on a ship deck after Israeli forces intercepted the vessel near Gaza. The footage, which shows Ben Gvir waving an Israeli flag and mocking activists, has triggered outrage across Europe. Italy is now leading calls for EU sanctions against the far right Israeli minister, while France, the UK, Canada and several other countries have condemned the video. Even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar have publicly distanced themselves from Ben Gvir’s actions as the controversy fuels growing tensions between Israel and Europe.
