Key points· Video

• There has been international condemnation of Israel's treatment of pro-Palestinian activists who were on board a Gaza-bound aid flotilla intercepted by Israeli naval forces.
• The US, the UK, France, Italy and Canada were among the countries which expressed outrage after far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video showing himself taunting activists kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs.
• His actions also drew rare criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said they were "not in line with Israel's values".
• The flotilla, which carried a token amount of aid, set out to highlight the conditions for Palestinians in war-torn Gaza.
• Israel dismissed it as a "PR stunt at the service of Hamas".
