International criticism of Israel has intensified following the release of video footage showing the treatment of workers detained from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. The footage allegedly depicts workers with their hands tied and being mistreated, prompting strong reactions from several countries.

Germany’s ambassador to Israel, Steffen Seibert, described the behavior as completely unacceptable in a post on social media platform X. Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot also expressed deep concern, noting that Belgian citizens were among those detained and calling the situation unacceptable.

The flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, was recently intercepted by Israeli forces. The videos circulating online have raised alarm among governments and human rights organizations, leading to growing international condemnation of Israel’s actions.
