Italy will investigate the Israeli minister's actions regarding the flotilla volunteers
The Italian prosecutor’s office in Rome has opened an investigation into the incident involving the detention of activists from the so-called flotilla heading to the Gaza Strip, as well as into the actions of the Israeli side in this matter.
As part of the proceedings, Israel’s far-right Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has been added to the list of suspects.
According to journalists, the investigation concerns the circumstances of the detention of activists from the flotilla, which the Israeli side intercepted while it was en route to the Gaza coast.
Italian law enforcement agencies are examining possible violations of international law and actions that may have been committed during the incident.
This is reported by Rai News.
Israel has begun deporting 37 French citizens who were aboard the humanitarian flotilla heading to the Gaza Strip.
France has decided to ask the prosecutor’s office to investigate the actions of Israeli forces against participants in the humanitarian flotilla that was heading to the Gaza Strip with aid. Officials in Paris have cited possible cases of mistreatment of activists, and the matter has already been referred for legal review. The French government’s decision represents one of the strongest diplomatic moves in recent weeks and could lead to a criminal investigation.
