What happened

Italy has opened an investigation into National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over the treatment of activists from last month’s Gaza flotilla, according to a legal source cited by Reuters. The move comes after Ireland joined several other countries in barring Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering, following the publication of videos from the detention facility in Ashdod.
