Italy Expands Gaza Flotilla Raid Probe to Top Israeli Officials

Italy Expands Gaza Flotilla Raid Probe to Top Israeli Officials

Italian authorities have significantly expanded a criminal investigation into the May takeover of a Gaza-bound flotilla, adding top Israeli political and security officials to the suspect list. The probe, led by Italy's counter-terrorism unit, focuses on alleged violations of international maritime law, including kidnapping and torture, during the seizure of two vessels in international waters. Evidence reportedly shows the operation occurred outside Israeli waters, with activists subjected to violence and denied legal and diplomatic access. The investigation initially began with probes against Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
