Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is under investigation by Italian prosecutors for alleged mistreatment of activists involved in a recent Gaza flotilla, confirmed an anonymous judicial source.

Ben-Gvir, accused of torture and kidnapping of Italian citizens, reacted dismissively to the investigation, prompting a rebuke from Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. Italy has since summoned the Israeli ambassador and sought EU discussions on possible sanctions.
