Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the treatment of Gaza flotilla activists detained by Israel, calling it 'unacceptable' and demanding the release of detained Italian citizens and an apology from Israel. The controversy arose after an Israeli minister shared a video showing activists bound and kneeling, which Meloni described as a violation of human dignity. The situation escalated with responses from Israeli officials, highlighting tensions surrounding the blockade of Gaza and the treatment of protesters.
