Israeli Minister Humiliates Gaza Aid Volunteers, Drawing Condemnation from Arab Nations

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has drawn international outrage after posting a video publicly humiliating international aid volunteers. Eight nations, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia, issued a joint statement condemning Ben-Gvir's behavior as shocking and a violation of human dignity. In the video, Ben-Gvir is seen mocking volunteers from the 'Global Sumud Flotilla' who were kneeling with their hands tied. The Egyptian Foreign Minister stated that such provocative behavior fuels hatred and undermines peace efforts. Malaysia's Selangor state government announced it would initiate legal proceedings against Ben-Gvir at the International Court of Justice. Ben-Gvir, a far-right figure, has faced criticism even from within the Israeli government for his inflammatory rhetoric and history of hardline stances.
